The primary goal of the High School Advisory at TVHS is to develop a supportive relationship between each student and a faculty advisor. This relationship, while improving student attendance, attitudes, and achievement, will also encourage healthy decision making and foster a deeper sense of community among the student body. The grade level advisory program is designed to meet the developmental needs of the students as they progress throughout high school.
