Ex Cineribus 2011 Staff

TSAS’s Literary staff members are celebrating their selection as part of the 2011 National Council of Teachers of English Program to Recognize Excellence in Student Literary Magazines. Tulsa School of Arts and Sciences’  Ex Cineribus was ranked Excellent and Edison High School’s Eyrie was selected for a Highest Award; the selection is from a field of 391 national literary magazines and these are the only selections from the state of Oklahoma.

“This is a great honor for our school, especially considering it is our first time to enter and the second year of our journal” Said TSAS’s advisor Ellen Stackable. “I am proud of the staff, especially Rachael Luthor, Olivia Blankenship, Gina Butler, Taylor Haught, and our University of Tulsa Intern, Catherine Roberts.”

At this time, we have filled all of our shadowing slots and are unable to accommodation any more students.

Open Houses

• OPEN HOUSES are scheduled for Tuesday, December 13,2011 and Thursday, January 19, 2012 from 6:30-8:00 pm. This is a great opportunity for parents to see the facilities and meet the teachers. Parents and students are welcome.

About TSAS

• We are a school of choice, with a college preparatory curriculum. We offer a range of AP classes, plus visual arts, jazz band, orchestra, photography, drama, musical theatre, and a health and fitness program from the Thornton YMCA. TSAS does not offer athletics, transportation, nor free lunches, and does not have a dedicated special education teacher on staff.
• TSAS is a free, public charter school, sponsored by TPS. Since we are relatively small, our staff and our student body all know each other. We are able to work more closely with individual students to help them towards better understanding and comprehension. We endeavor to make the curriculum challenging in order to better prepare our students for success at the university level.
