Appreciating Achieve Tahoe for Hosting Our 1st-Graders
TEA First Graders learned this lesson during an eye-opening meet and greet with Achieve Tahoe. The children did a beautiful job of recognizing that everyone has a heart with feelings and everyone wants love & connection. They also learned about inclusivity and using people-first language to help remind disabled people that they are seen and respected as individuals. Much appreciation to the folks at Achieve Tahoe!

2023 Senior Passages
Senior Passages at TEA are a long standing tradition. While standing in front of an audience of family, friends, faculty and peers, our graduating Seniors reflect on their journeys through life both inside and outside of school, sharing beautiful stories and reflections along the way. This year was no exception. Thank you to the Class of 2023 for your heartfelt Senior Passages. We’re proud to share recordings here so their stories may continue to inspire others for years to come!

Congratulations to the Class of 2027! Enjoy a few photos and a video recording of the 8th-Grade Graduation Ceremony.
2023 8th-Grade Passages
Passage presentations are a long-standing tradition at TEA. Every 5th-grader, 8th-grader and 12th-grader prepares and delivers a passage presentation as they prepare to enter middle school, high school, and college (or beyond!) They are a time and place for students to reflect on their experiences both inside and outside of TEA while also honing in on their public speaking skills. Here we are proud to share our 2023 8th-Grade Passage Presentations with you.
