Truman's first ever Carnival
by THS Media Gregory Miranda
With the all the attention shifting from the candidates to Truman's clubs and extracurricular activities. The venue stays the same, at the Independence Square but a totally different perspective as this is more for the families and children who came out to support. It's Truman's first ever carnival! The carnival was put in effort to past time until the actual homecoming dance and it worked out pretty well.
Homecoming Preview: The First THS
by THS Media Gregory Miranda
The stage is set, stakes are high. As Truman High School is proud to announce that thanks to the new stadium renovations allowing triple the amount of seats, to hold our first ever “Friday Night Lights” homecoming game versus Marshall on Oct. 2.
It will be a busy Friday to say the least as the football game isn't the only thing on the agenda as we plan to host a Truman Alumni reception starting at 6 p.m. in a tent at the Southwest corner of Truman Stadium as we encourage all to attend. And as you'd expect during halftime, the Homecoming Court Coronation will take place as well teasing what's to come during the actual homecoming dance.
And with many former alumni that will be in attendance, meaning more eyes than ever and higher expectations to make the night memorable to those who couldn't experience this in their timeshare at Truman.

The THS Pride Initiative
by THS Media Gregory Miranda
You’ve probably heard this one before, there are some new changes in place this year at Truman High School. For the 2015-2016 school year the new staff members received a warm welcome, the new school renovations were acknowledged and the students complained about schedule changing but there is something that Pamela Boatright, head principal made very clear even on the first day back to school assembly is that Truman has “P.R.I.D.E.”
In almost every classroom, hallway and around every corner you'll see a P.R.I.D.E. rubric poster. On the first day teachers addressed their new students with this concept on how P.R.I.D.E. works. Long story short, the 'P' stands for Personal Responsibility 'R' is for respect, 'I' is for Integrity , 'D' is Dependability and 'E' means Excellence.
This acronym is used for staff to remind students how to behave and what is expected in the classroom, common area and how all students can show pride and respect for their school.
