In honor of National Principals Month in October, we at TISD would like to send our heartfelt appreciation to all our campus principals: TPS, Lisa Stephens; TIS, Gerald Nixon; TMS, Sean McCabe; and THS, Jennifer Fierro!


The TSF Round-Up will include the “Tarkington Showcase of Talent” event which begins about 10:00 a.m. with performances by our Intermediate School Choir, the Tarkington Middle School Band, and High School Thundering Horns Band. We will also be featuring talent from area musicians and other talent. We encourage anyone with a talent to come out and share it with the community. This showcase is open to everyone!! If you have a church choir itching to spread the gospel through music, come join us. If you are a gymnast, singer, dancer, musician, (you name it), sign up and take the stage! This is not a competition – we just want to see all those gifted people in our community and be entertained!! If you are interested in performing, please contact Mollie Lambert at 713-446-3442 to schedule an approximate time of performance – spots are filling fast!!


The TSF Round-Up kicks off on Saturday, October 30, 2021 with the Tarkington Stampede 5K Fun Run/Walk. The runners/walkers will start at the Tarkington Primary Gym (behind the Primary school) with a 7:00 a.m. registration. The run starts at 7:30 a.m. Awards for the Stampede will be given at the Round-Up. Pre-register online at: https://bit.ly/TarkingtonRoundUp21
