TAG
Tualatin High School provides many opportunities for TAG students to develop their abilities and explore their interests. We offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, Pre-IB and Advanced courses, and the Honors program, in addition to a variety of leadership opportunities and advanced elective courses at many levels of complexity. We also have a wide array of extra-curricular opportunities, including a variety of academic clubs. TuHS TAG DOCUMENTS TuHS TAG Students Say: "I'm currently taking a full IB schedule, and I feel that I'm being challenged in school and learning a lot." "I push myself and do my best work, no matter what class I'm in, and the teachers expect that, too." "My physics teacher does a great job at making challenging things fun and easier to understand." "I am taking all advanced core classes this year, which has been very challenging and rewarding." "In the advanced English courses, the teachers really push you to manage your time and give everything your full effort." "Twice I have scored high enough on a pretest in Advanced Biology so that I got to do an alternative assignment." "I found that Advanced Speech and Debate was very helpful in developing public speaking skills, and it helped me understand more about current events." "In my Spanish and Health classes, the teachers hold me to higher standards so I stay motivated." "The IB program does a good job at answering my needs as a TAG student." "My most engaging class is Intro to Engineering because I like to design and build robotic cars; we are challenged to do our best in that class." "In science I got to study invasive species instead of the unit I already knew." "The most challenging class for me has been IB European History because it is difficult to read and comprehend all of the material. The most engaging has been IB Psychology and IB Physics because we do labs, demos, and interesting experiments." TAG ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES

medical doctor or Ph.D. researcher).

Academy's Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering program matches
high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with scientists and
engineers for 8-week summer internships in a professional scientific
or engineering environment. Interns assist one or more technical
professionals who serve as mentors and gain first-hand, pre-professional
experience in the mentors' career field. Some interns work on a
specific project that they can complete by summer's end,
some interns contribute for eight weeks to an ongoing larger project,
and some participate in multiple smaller projects and tasks that
represent the range of work for that field of science or engineering.
They offer internships throughout Oregon, but most are
located in the Corvallis/Eugene and Portland and Vancouver metro areas. For more information, see the ASE Website. Saturday Academy Saturday Academy is an educational enrichment program for students entering grades 2 - 12. This fall Saturday Academy is offering 80 different classes in computer programming and graphics, humanities and the arts, science, math, medical science and writing.
