  • Our Time Is Now!
    Our Time Is Now! 2020 - 2021 Torrington High School Superintendent Sue Lubomski We are so excited to welcome you to Torrington High School! There are so many opportunities for all students. Our dedicated teachers and staff are ready for you! Many of them are alumni themselves. At THS, we are proud of our school and the level of excellence our students achieve in academics, the arts and athletics. Our district vision is “Torrington Public Schools will ensure every student is able to graduate with the skills and attributes that empower them to enter the college or career of their choosing.” On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, the town voted in favor of the THS/TMS Building Project. During this 2.5 year process that led us to the referendum and subsequent vote, we began to focus on those courses and changes that could support our district vision and began to dream about and plan for what could be. The benefit to our incoming freshman will be that we have already started integrating courses that are aligned with our Pathways, such as engineering, sports medicine, drones, coding, soldering, sports science, introduction to investment banking, creativity and conflict, local history, and yoga. More courses are being developed this year. As a THS student, you will be a part of Torrington’s legacy as the first class to graduate from our newly constructed building as the Class of 2025! Our Pathways were created by surveying students about their interests. Local businesses, organizations and agencies also provided input on their employment needs, so that they could help our students find jobs within our own community during and after high school or after college.
