From Our Principal

Dear Thomson Community

As we close the chapter on the 2024–2025 school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared. This year has been filled with growth, learning, and countless moments of pride and joy. Whether it was in the classroom through exhibitions of learning, on the stage with our 1st Annual Talent Show, or on the field with more that 15 years partnering with DCSCORES, our students and staff have shown resilience, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.

Heading into what is sure to be a hot summer, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with loved ones. We’ll see you in August, ready for another amazing year of learning and growth.

Wishing you a safe and joyful summer!

-- Principal, Carmen Shepherd
