Tarkington Middle School students take ownership in their learning. Students demonstrated their knowledge of Plate Tectonics through creating a visual to demonstrate their understanding of the content.




It was Yearbook week at Tarkington Middle School. Students participated in dress up days and competed in fun games at lunch.





It's always a great day to be a Longhorn but days like today just make it a lot "sweeter"! Thank you Crystal Allen and staff at Farmers Insurance-Mont Belvieu for the cookie cakes from RS Cookies and for always making us feel extra special!
