Ann Bonitatibus

“We are more than a GPA. We are a GPS, a supportive guide that navigates students to their destination.” This mantra frames Ann’s devotion to TJHSST. Rankings may spur unhealthy competition and create stressors, compromising student wellness. Therefore, with student, staff, and parent feedback, TJHSST enlisted in Challenge Success, a network of schools that define success beyond grades and test scores. Ann is proud of the TJ Commitment Wall where pledge certificates from every teacher promise new ways to create engaging lessons, incorporate project-based learning, develop alternative assessments, give students voice and choice, and personally connect with students. PTSA also sponsors Principal’s Book Clubs with Ann and seminars for parents, thus, uniting a healthier and more joyful school community.
