In addition to encouraging our

seling department at 542-6638.

dents who are Superintendents Scholars
with a 4.0 gpa or higher, Principals Scholars
with a 3.5 gpa or higher and Honor Roll
students with a 3.0 gpa or higher. Please
congratulate them when you see them.
Below are this quarters highest GPA’s per
grade level.
Thurgood Marshall High
School is providing a variety of op-
portunities for our students to be-
come well rounded citizens. How-
ever, SCHOLARSHIP is still at the
core of what we do. As we ended
the first quarter of our 2012-2013
academic year there were a number
of students who exhibited outstand-
ing scholarship. In this issue we
want to recognize them for excel-
lence and encourage all students to
see themselves as scholars.
Parents please be support-
ive of our students academic pur-
suits. Though they are close to
adulthood they are not quite
there yet. Ask them about the
assignments they are working on
in class. Express the importance
of reaching their highest poten-
tial. Help them organize their
time and structure effective study
habits. Finally, discuss how their
future goals are directly connect-
ed to their academic perfor-
mance in school..
Research shows that
parents remain the most influen-
tial people in the lives of stu-
dents.

“Now is the accepted
time, not tomorrow,
not some more
convenient season. It
is today that our best
work can be done
and not some future
day or future year. It
is today that we fit
ourselves for the
greater usefulness of
tomorrow. Today is
the seed time, now
are the hours of
work, and tomorrow
comes the harvest
and the playtime.”

A Closer Look at TMHS Core Values
Scholarship
C O U G A R C H R O N I C L E S
In an effort to create the optimal climate for academic achievement we have articulat-
ed 5 core values that will guide our students, faculty, and staffs behavior and habits.
1. RESPECT
2. RESPONSIBILITY
3. SCHOLARSHIP
4. INNOVATION
5. COLLABORATION
This month’s core value Scholarship is the knowledge resulting from study or
research in a particular field as well as the practice of seeking that knowledge. If you are a
scholar you are a person who studies under a teacher or teachers and becomes highly educat-
ed and knowledgeable. A scholar is also a person who has a high aptitude for study. At Thur-
good Marshall we have a high level of respect for those that value knowledge and seek it dili-
gently which is our primary purpose for coming to school daily. What does it look like when
we are actively engaged in scholarship?

“Scholarship is to be
created not by
compulsion, but by
awakening a pure
interest in knowledge.
The wise instructor
accomplishes this by
opening to his pupils
precisely the
attractions the study
has for himself. .”

Thurgood Marshall
High School (TMHS) has high
expectations for our students,
which will yield and translate
into a high quality of life.
TMHS students are expected
to be in school daily, to do
homework daily and perform
at a high level daily! We ex-
pect our students to treat
each other with empathy and
compassion, to contribute to
the positive school climate in
a meaningful way and to take
advantage of all the many op-
portunities for intervention,
remediation, and enrichment.
As we transition to a
curriculum with a STEM em-
phasis, we want all students to
be challenged and to perform
at their highest ability. We val-
ue scholarship and we expect
all our students to be scholars.
If students are going
to adapt to a changing world
and ultimately take part in
shaping it., there must be an
emphasis placed on collabora-
tion, innovation and inquiry.
We have put systems in place
to provide interventions for our
most at risk, while simultane-
ously, exposing and propelling
our students to actively extend
learning beyond the classroom.
It is Science Fair and
National History Day season,
and I look forward to seeing
students collaborate to do
scholarly research, put theory
into action, and collect and
synthesizing data that allows
them to draw conclusions. At
TMHS, scholars are made…
Seniors: It is time to check
your credits to ensure that
you will graduate in the
Spring! If you have an ap-
pointment to visit Ms.
Munka, please touch base
with your teacher and be on
time for the appointment. If
you need an appointment,
please stop by Room 1108 B
to be scheduled.
Credit recovery is now in
session Monday-Thursday
from 4:00 to 6:00 pm in
Lieutenant Colonel Mason's
Room 1200. If you have
questions please see Ms.
Munka or Mr. English, as
soon as possible.
Our first 2012-2013 ACT
Preparation Class is being
held Monday evenings from
6:00 to 8:30 pm for eight
sessions. A second session
will be scheduled after the
Winter Break. Please regis-
ter in the Guidance Office
for the second session. Only
20 students will be accepted
for this free prep class...so
hurry in to make your reser-
vation!
As usual, if you need assis-
tance or encouragement on
writing a resume, applying
to colleges or for scholar-
ships, please stop in the
Guidance Office to make an
appointment before/during/
or after school.
A college workshop will be
held the week of November
27-29. Wednesday 11/28 is
the Gates Millennium Schol-
ar Workshop. The Ohio
State office of Diversity and
Inclusion will sponsor this
event.

week 42 seniors 4 juniors 2 soph-
omores and 1 freshmen headed
out on a tour of four schools.
Baldwin Wallace was
scheduled to be their first stop
but Hurricane Sandy knocked
out the university’s power and
closed the campus. Instead the
group visited Ohio Northern
University in Ada, Ohio, before
heading to Kent State for an
extensive tour. They stayed over-
night in Findlay, Ohio before
visiting the University of Findlay
the next morning. The tour
ended with a presentation at
Bowling Green State University.
Students were able to
not only find information about
courses of study and financial
aid, they were able to immediate-
ly assess the tone and mood of each
campus. This was information that a
computer search could not provide.
Many students applied for admissions
and some made final decisions about
their school of choice. We hope to
make this an annual event. One can’t
have too much information when mak-
ing such a monumental decision. It was
truly a success!
It is the time of year when seniors anxiously complete applica-tions to their favorite universities and take the ACT one more time boosting their chances of receiving scholarships. In order to aid seniors in their college search, Thurgood Marshall High School (TMHS) orga-nized their first ever Ohio College Tour.
While students often speak of going as far away from home as possible, the reality is that most of them eventually choose to attend state colleges for financial and logistical purposes. This is why TMHS felt it was so important to provide an opportunity to explore what Ohio has to offer by sampling a few of their public and private
schools.
At 7am on a cold
Fall morning last
Thurgood Marshall Football
has had another outstanding season.
After the regular season and two play
off rounds they are ranked #1 in Ohio
among Division III teams. They have a
12-1 record fueled by the coaching
skills of Earl White and a talented crew
of young men.
There are a number of stand
out athletes on the team including
sophomore quarterback Jahmal Man-
ley, and dynamic Junior running back
Vayante Copeland. However, more
and more the face of TMHS football
has been Senior Running back Denzel
Norvell.
Norvell not only leads the
team but the city in rushing with over
2000 yds this season and 39 touch
downs. Denzel is one of four team
captains along with James Frazier, Jase
Farlow and Paris Wright.
Please don’t think Mr. Norvell
is one dimensional. In addition to his
athletic abilities he is an honor student
with a 3.4 GPA. He is the Parliamentar-
ian of the DPS student senate, and
President of TMHS Renaissance
Men. Thurgood Marshall plays Ath-
ens for the Regional title this week-
end and will head to the State Semi
Finals from there. GO COUGARS!!!
