Last night it held a dedication of its new greenhouse, followed by entertainment from students. The courtyard in the photo was packed with chairs filled with students' proud families and others, and rest of the audience lined the walkways as the students performed on the stage. There were easily 350 people in attendance, not counting the students, maybe more.

The school's computer lab was open during the fiesta where people could send messages to TUSD on its online Comments form. Anyone can use the form to make comments about the School Consolidations and Closures process.
