December Alumni of the Month

"My time at Thomas Nelson High School had numerous positive moments and very few negative ones. Winning the 2012 Football Royal Court or getting the honor of performing with the drama group were two of my most enjoyable moments. I was involved in multiple groups and organizations, my favorites being Tennis, Ultimate Frisbee, and Drama/Performing Arts. Thomas Nelson always encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and try new activities and that sense of adventure has stayed with me as I entered the real world. After graduating high school I started working as a veterinarian technician at a clinic in Lexington, KY while taking charge of a very large county wide grant involving the feral cat population. The grant funded the spay and/or neuter surgeries of eight hundred cats that I had to locate, trap, and release. A large part of this grant was public interaction and education, which thankfully, I have no issues talking to strangers. I’m most thankful for the opinionated teachers that took the time to teach me about the real world outside of high school – special shoutouts go to Mrs. Cornish, Mrs. Horn, and Mr. Robinson for teaching me the values of working hard among numerous other things.”

November Alumni of the Month

Joseph Thompson '15 and Morgan Wherry '15 at the annual Brick Laying Ceremony.

Join us in celebrating our first Alumni of the Month! Joseph Thompson is a class of 2015 alumnus. During his time at Thomas Nelson, he served his community as the president of Key Club and as a member of the SOC. He was also participated in the Governor's Scholar Program and was Basketball Homecoming King his senior year. He now attends the University of Louisville where he was accepted early into their dental school and is pursuing a major in Biology with a minor in Latin. Joseph wanted to share that one thing that he valued from his time spent at Thomas Nelson was the sense of community that the teachers and staff created with their constant encouragement and drive to facilitate an open learning environment for their students. Since graduation, Joseph has attended the alumni showcase at football homecoming along with participating in an advice panel for the current seniors. His engagement with the school has not gone unnoticed. The TNHS family thanks you for your involvement, Joseph!

If I Only Knew

We were so happy to have 5 of our Class of 2015 Alumni come and speak on October 2nd! They talked with seniors on Future Story Support Day about some of their experiences since graduating in May. They gave advice, answered questions, and informed the seniors of college life and the expectations that come with it. Casel Billings (Spalding University), Katie Malone (Western Kentucky University), Megan Napper (Murray State University), Joseph Thompson (University of Louisville), and Blaire Bischoff (Bellarmine University) were the alumni who gave great tips to our current seniors. We want to thank these 5 alumni for their help and we hope to have an even larger involvement of alumni coming in the near future!

Rest in Peace, Taylor

Our hearts are filled with sadness as we lost one of our own yesterday morning. Taylor was an amazing young lady and our Thomas Nelson family misses her.

Happy Labor Day!

Hello Alumni!

Welcome back! I am Erika Clark and I am your current Director of Alumni Affairs! I am very excited to be in this position at TNHS. The goal of this blog is to have all announcements regarding alumni easily accessible for you to keep in touch with us! Throughout the course of this school year, I hope to see alumni involvement in the Football and Basketball Homecomings, along with several smaller projects I have in mind. Our Football Homecoming is on September 11, 2015 at half time. We will be tailgating from 5-7:30 and we would love to have alumni attend that for some free food and catching up with old friends. My personal goal as the Director is to have 50 alumni to attend and be a part of the Homecoming Ceremony. Currently, we are trying to find a way to have alumni get into the game for free on the night of Homecoming. Therefore, your admission would be paid for and you could have free food at the tailgating party! If you plan to attend the Homecoming Ceremony, please fill out this google form so we can announce your name and plans after high school, during half time (Click here). I will have more announcements coming up on this blog so please check regularly if you want to still be connected with your TNHS family! I'm eager to see what this year will bring! I hope everyone is doing well!
