Very impressed by THMS! sent all 3 of my boys here. It's right next to VVHS, which is the high school most kids go to afterwards. The size of the school is a great adjustment from a normal elementary school which really helps into their transition from MS to HS. Principal Michelle Armijo is such a charm! She is very helpful when it comes to solving problems; she is always fair. The special education department at THMS is very helpful, great at making accommodations for students in the classroom!
