TU is a true hidden gem! It is an inspiring performing arts high school, combined with great academic faculty. The administration is top-notch and when it comes to anything in life, the leadership SETS the tone and the tone at TU is of community, celebrating diversity, open and honest communication, and love for the students and the arts. Even during the pandemic, there were plenty of creatively produced, amazing and professional virtual performances. There were plenty of town halls to keep the TU community well informed. Plenty of support and enrichment activities to socially engage the students. My daughter and I LOVE our school.
