It is the parent's responsibility to promote the use of the reserved shuttle bus(s) when transportation is needed by their child. The Athletic Department does not encourage students to use other modes of transportation due to safety and liability concerns.
Please note that students who drive themselves to school are also allowed to transport themselves to the appropriate athletic complex. The TISD Athletic Department does not promote these students transporting other students in their vehicle.

The prestigious award is in recognition of Taylor High School's students significant increase in its ACT Composite score over the past five years while, at the same time, increasing or maintaining the number of students taking the ACT Assessment, according to THS Counselor Marilyn Tennill.
"We are obviously very proud for our students and staff," said an elated TISD Superintendent Jerry Vaughn. "This award is designed to recognize outstanding growth and achievement over a five year period and everyone associated with this effort should feel extremely proud."
According to Tennilll, the award resulted in greater numbers of our students being college ready. Only about 10% of the high schools in Texas were able to accomplish what THS has done! We are in the category with schools like: Westlake, Westwood, Liberty Hill, Vista Ridge, Cedar Park HS, and Highland Park in Dallas!"
The ACT Council wrote that the THS results show that faculty and staff are providing the kind of education that makes a positive difference for all students as they prepare for college and/or the workforce.
