At TA, we know that students who feel supported and connected will achieve their academic, creative, and personal goals. It’s this sense of belonging—of community—that fosters exploration and excellence, and empowers every TA student to chart their own path. With opportunities from STEM to social justice, from theater to world languages, independent study, internships, and more—TA inspires students to take on new challenges, be creative, and reach for their dreams.
Hear from some of our students.
Dempsey McGovern
“Participating in the TA STEM student internship at Fujifilm and Hypertherm opened my eyes to so many career possibilities. I’ve met a number of people across the companies, including the CEO. It’s great to see and experience so much while still being a junior at TA. I’m already looking forward to taking physics.”
Ben Mattern
"I run track and cross-country at TA, and I pride myself on earning good grades and excelling in sports. I’m taking calculus, and it’s going well. But it’s hard. Calculus is tough and so is running long distances. Success is about knowing you can stick with something even though it’s challenging.”
Connor Kutter-Walker
"I spend my afternoons with the TA Robotics Club where volunteer mentors like Leif LaWhite help us build and program robots for competition. I love taking concepts I’ve learned in classes like geometry and applying them to robotics. It’s fun to challenge myself and create something unique as part of a team."
Charlize Brown
"I play three sports at TA while being a member of the Athletic Leadership Council, helping students and the TA community spread school spirit post-pandemic. At TA, athletics are not just about competition and winning—they help promote community, pride, and inclusivity for all our students.”
