Halloween-- the night of spooks, scares, and all around fun. In the 1993 movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, a singing cast of ghosts and freaks proclaim that their town serves as the exemplar of Halloween spirit, however to the Warriors of Tville High School, Halloween is so much more.

There’s always that one bad high school drama that reverberates in everyone’s minds that depicts the stereotypical cliques whenever they see, hear, or think of high school. This is far from the truth. In this day and age, students are becoming less shy and more sociable to anyone. They are becoming less afraid of interaction whether it be in person or online.

In our classes, our lunches, before and after school, and if you are doing tutoring for extra help in your classes they are going to be there too. We also see all kinds of different kids in different cliques. You have the cheerleaders, the athletes like soccer and football players, the theatre kids, the student government, and the stoner kids.

With varsity letters for drill, cross country, and track already under her belt, she looked forward to another year of competing in every way possible--and for a while it was just that.

From administrators, to teachers and counselors, this year, the school welcomes a total of 18 new faculty members. Here is a brief introduction and welcome to each of them.
