Tioga 62 ROP 51

On November 30th, the varsity boys T-Wolves defeated conference foe Sierra Ridge (ROP) at home 62-51. ROP has a quality squad this year and should compete at the top of the conference. The Wolves bounced back after the Waterford defeat to garner their first win of the season. The boys played well down the stretch making good decisions and connecting on their free throw opportunities. Leading the way for the Wolves were seniors Myles Rodiguez and Brandon Cathrein. Brandon had 12 points and 13 rebounds. Myles had 15 points, 4 rerbounds and 6 steals. Sophomore Preston West played a great first varsity game of his career scoring 12 points and hitting key free throws in the 4th quarter for the Wolves. Tioga will get some great experience in the upcoming Big Valley and Bret Harte tournaments the next two weekends!!!
Go T-Wolves!!!!!

Tioga Boys Basketball: Waterford 54 Tioga 50

The Varsity boys basketball team opened up their season playing against Waterford on November 24th in Waterford. The boys were missing a few of their returning players because some of them were busy eating too much turkey or riding on rollercoasters!! In all seriousness, the boys reall competed hard against a much bigger school. Waterford has over 600 kids in attendance this year. We were leading for a lot of the game and had chances to win all the way up until the final buzzer. Some of the boys were still sucking wind from having to play in the entire JV game no more than an hour before! If we would have connected and made more of ou free throws, the game would have turned out in our favor. The boys only made 18 out of 38 possible free throws, so that was frustrating. The positive was that they competed very hard and played a very good team very well. We don't have a lot of players on this year's team, but we do have a lot of talent. The kids should realize once we play with each other for a few weeks how good we actually could be by the end of the season! Keep working hard fellas!!!!

Coach Dutton

Why I enjoy Tioga High School by Sheldon Crouse

I like Tioga High School for many reasons. Everyone here at Tioga feels like we are family. The academic standard at Tioga is very high and students come out of here with much knowledge of the real world opportunites they will encounter shortly after high school. In journalism we realize that we will not be able to procrastinate with our job or we may get fired. In Mr. Dutton's personal finance class students learn how to manage their money so they will not be like most American's and they may actually have money in the future. In Physical Education students learn how to exercise, with a few minor exceptions, they will try to fight against childhood obesity. Those are just a few classes that some schools do not take seriously of how much it can impact a child. Our teachers are phenomenal at what they do and i would not trade them for the world!

Life At Tioga High, From the Perspective of Thoren Bradley

Life here at Tioga High School is different to say the least. Exciting is'nt the first word most students here would use to describe the atmosphere at our school. As I make my way towards the end of my last year here at Tioga it's becoming easier to reflect on the positives here at Tioga. Such as knowing everyone of your classmates well, being able to walk to class within passing time without rushing, and Teachers being on a personal basis with each student. Times go by where our kids may get bored and feel that our school life is stagnet, but our opportunity for success here at Tioga is second to none, mainly because of the undivided attention offered to each student.

Home of the Timberwolves!!

Hey everyone I'm Cori Sanchez, and I'm here to tell you a few things about our amazing Tioga High School! I have been going here for the last 3 years and I really couldn't ask for a better school.We just got back from Thanksgiving break about a week ago, and our next break is Christmas which is in 3 weeks. Basketball just picked up once again for the girls and boys, so come out and cheer on the Tioga Timberwolves. I love going to all the games, and showing off the school spirit. We just had our Sadie Hawkins dance and it was a lot of fun. Our next dance is winter formal, and I can't wait for more exciting dances to go to. I LOVE how Tioga is small and everyone knows everyone like a family, and all the classes are small so you are alway one on one with the teachers. I love all the teachers here; they are like my other family. Some people don't think its a great school, but it really is. I love it and I really couldn't ask for anything better!!

Tioga High School

Hi, I'm Caity, a sophomore at Tioga High. Tioga may be a small school, but it is like one big family. Because of its small size, we can form closer relationships with our teachers and have a better school experience. There is a lot less conflicts than you would find at a larger school, and "cliques" are almost non-existent. It is great to have such a supportive community. I love being able to cheer on our successful sports teams at our home games. Tioga is really just such a friendly school.

Thanks Tioga High

Hey, I'm Brianna, a sophomore at Tioga High. This is a great school, for so many reasons. Being in a small school has its advantages, like getting more help with teachers. Transfering from a school of 1,000 kids to here made me see how much better smaller schools are. Everyone here at Tioga, including the teachers, are so friendly. THANKS TIOGA!

Hi my name is Andrea Sanchez and I’d like to tell you how much I enjoy my school. I love Tioga High School for so many reasons. Attending such a small school has its ups and downs, but Tioga is really great. Everyone knows everyone which makes for good friendships and a happy, never awkward atmosphere. All of your teachers know you on a first name basis which is very helpful. You can go to almost any of your educators if you don't understand something and they will dedicate their time to making sure that you fully understand the curriculum. Everything is just so friendly and inviting about Tioga and that’s what I think people love the most! It’s like one big family. So thank you for visiting our blog, stop by soon!

Sadie Hawkins Dance!

Next Friday on Nov, 20Th at the Tioga High School Gym the senior class and our own Tim King will be hosting the Sadie Hawkins: Bring back the 80's dance!
The will be held from 7:00 P. M to 11:00 P.M., so you have four hours to party down to classical rock and other 80's tunes!

"King Tut" Field Trip Thursday!

This Thursday is the date that a select number of Tioga High School students shall set out for San Francisco, to visit the famous de young Museum and see the King Tutankhamen and the Pharaoh's of Egypt exhibition! Afterwards said students will head off to Pier 39 on the fisherman's wharf for lunch and/or dinner as well as to look around the famous Pier and all of its stores!
We leave at 7:00 A.M Exactly and we arrive back at school at around 8:00 P. M., so be sure to come early and bring money for lunch/dinner.
Be sure to bring in money for food and souvenirs, and another note: for those of you lucky students interested in visiting the "Aquarium of the Bay" on Pier 39, it will cost around Seventeen dollars per admission, and is one of the must see attractions on Pier 39 so its well worth the price of admission.

On October 29th, this Thursday Tioga High School is having a Halloween-centric rally after 5th period before lunch, and this rally will be in honor of Halloween which means the school dress up day will focus on Halloween costumes! Dont dress in a mediocre generic costume, becuase this rally will include a contest for best costume, so be sure to dress up in your best costume!

New Resturaunt in Groveland!

Groveland is about to get a little bigger, opening in the old Re-Max building near the Twice as Nice discount store, Pizza Factory(r) will offer a couple more jobs to our small little town as well as good food, good variety, good prices, and guess what? They Deliver! The new parlor will open sometime between now and November, so expect some good food coming your way soon! Pizza Factory(r) will also help sponsor Tioga High School and Tenaya Elementary school with fundraisers and other events so the whole community will benefit from the new restaurant opening.

Snack Shack, and Trash Problems..

Tioga High Students:

The school temporarily shut down the Snack Shack, due to litter on the campus.

Please help keep the campus clean, even if its not your trash, please pick it up.

A lot of kids rely on the Snack Shack for food, so do your part.

Its not fair to the kids who do clean up their garbage.

Hey my name is Cori Sanchez. I'm 17, I go to Tioga High School,where I'm a Junior. Even though our school is small I love it to death, the staff and students are like my other family.

I'm pretty shy when you first meet me, but after you get to know me I'm pretty outgoing. My friends and family mean the world to me. Here are a few things I love: I love the ocean, food is amazing, I love sunsets, love to go camping, love the color purple, I also love Panda bears. I am finally an Aunt, and my niece's name is Aceline. and I love her to death! I am looking forward to Journalism because it's one of my favorite classes.

Thoren's Senior Year

Hey! I'm Thoren Bradley, and im a Senior at Tioga High School. I have attended Tioga for all four years of High School. Although I usually play a sport every season, this year im only playing on the soccer team. Since it's my Senior year I'm going to have to make some decisions on college this year. My current choices for college are UC Santa Cruz, Hawai'i Pacific, and possibly Cal Poly San Luis. I am looking forward to journalism this year because it is my fourth and last year in this class, and every year its one of the few classes I look forward to.
