Tri-Point High School would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Marsha Haag for her role in speaking at our Veterans Day program on Monday, November 11th. Marsha's introduction of our guest speakers helped set the tone for an engaging and educational event for our community, staff, and students.
We were honored to have Michael Vozar share his insights about the Honors Flight Network, highlighting the importance of honoring veterans and ensuring they have the opportunity to visit the memorials dedicated to their service.
Additionally, we were grateful for Eric Carlson, who brought two service dogs trained to assist veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury. Eric’s presentation on the specialized training techniques for these dogs provided valuable information about the ways in which these animals are making a difference in the lives of veterans.
Tri-Point High School will be having a Veterans Day program in the gym at 2:10pm on Monday, November 11th. We invite veterans and community members to join us to hear about two veteran programs: the service dog program for veterans with PTSD or traumatic brain injuries and the Honor Flight program.

Major: Agriculture Education with an emphasis in Tech Education

How did TP prepare you academically?: The teachers and staff pushed me to do my best in all of my classes which helped prepare me to do the same in my college classes.
How did TP prepare you athletically?: During athletics, I was allowed to grow not only as an individual, but also as a leader. Coming from smaller teams, I was able to make connections easily when coming onto a team that was bigger.

The Shakespeare SLAM team attended a workshop at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater this past Saturday. The students had a great time and were recognized by other schools for their energy, leadership, creativity and kindness to others. Coach Patterson commented "I couldn't be prouder of this group of kids for the way they conducted themselves and the positive impact they had on others!" Great job Chargers! Charge on!
This week's Alumni Spotlight is Tri-Point's Kaitlyn Poe! Poe was a Cross Country and Track runner for the Chargers. Today she competes and studies at Judson University.
In her own words: I am a mid-distance runner for cross country and track at Judson University. This season I’m looking forward to see how much I accomplish and grow as an athlete. Our first meet is at Wheaton, on September 21st; I happened to make a pr with a time of 27:38; and we’re going to keep on working to cut the time down! I recently made a switch to psychology with a concentration in criminal justice. I am currently trying to apply to be an army reserve while still in school. If all follows through, I plan to become an officer for the army.
