Class of 2010

Welcome to the TAMS community! We are proud that you are joining us in our efforts to make the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science a truly wonderful living-learning environment. To help you experience a more enjoyable and less stressful transition next fall, we are hosting the TAMS Summer Orientation (a.k.a. SO and Summer O) program.

This two-day program provides an opportunity for new students and their parents or adult guardians to become acquainted with one another and with TAMS staff, to learn more about what to expect in the fall, and to take care of some business that will make move-in day easier.

Please plan to join us for these workshops and activities, which are designed to address topics of interest to new TAMS families. If you have not already, you will be receiving a packet in the mail with all the details.

Check this site often for updates to the SO program!
