Important information from Vines High School, Wednesday ...

Admission to TALH is competitive, enrollment is limited, and specific requirements with supplementary
information on the program are noted on our website at www.texasacademy.org; there you can
download an application and learn more about the opportunities that we offer to intellectually focused,
mature students. Please let us know if you would like to receive more information on our program via
email or U.S. Mail. TALH is a selective program and our students are frankly a select breed, mindful of
the crucial relation between intellectual excellence and moral growth. If this is an ideal you or a student
you know shares, we hope to visit with you soon.

(4) Vines Open House
This year's Spring Open House is scheduled for Thursday, March 1st from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Our
Spring Open House is a come and go event and does not follow the students' bell schedule. Teachers will
be in their classrooms to meet parents and briefly answer any questions our parents may have. We
anticipate many parents in attendance that evening, so if you need to discuss anything in detail with
your child's teacher, we request that you schedule a separate conference for another time. We also will
have a short public meeting from 6:00 p.m. - 6:25 p.m. to present the Vines High School report card
from TEA upstairs in our Presentation Room (C253). Hope to see you at our Spring Open House!
