Jo Ann (the vice principal) is a bully and demonstrates passive aggressiveness towards other adults, which creates a very toxic environment. The principal doesn't even respond to emails or phone calls. The teachers are nice and seem to genuinely care about the kids. If the administration fails, how can the school function? This place is setting itself up for a potential lawsuit in the near future with this "I don't give a care" mentality.

Principal Fenech is caring, competent, involved, just wonderful. Teachers have all been attentive and caring. As an IDT, it can be hard to fit in because the neighborhood kids bond easily outside of school, whereas it’s a struggle for transfer kids. Playgrounds are great. Great emphasis on physical activity. Specials and curriculum are strong.

This school is amazing! The community is great, the teachers are supportive, the admins are excellent! My experience has been nothing but outstanding! I would 100% recommend TMS! There are great course offerings (ie 4 languages, band, orchestra, choir, music tech, multiple PLTW courses, visual art classes, advanced math offerings, and others), many great clubs (ex. GSA, Newspaper Club, Yearbook Club, Graphic Design & Apparel, Tutoring, and many more! Tappan also has many sports teams, including basketball, soccer, track, cross country, synchronized and competitive swimming, baseball, softball, tennis, and others! 2 things I would like to correct from the above page are: a) we have a new principal, Dr. Tyese Parnell, as Dr Heyward has taken a new job in AAPS, b) while the only music options available for 6th & 7th grade are band, orchestra, and choir, Jazz Band is also offered in 8th grade, andc) we actually have 4 world language courses - German, French, Spanish, and Latin.

Our kids never felt like they “had” to go to school @Huron. They understood and felt comfortable with going to school. The school explains very well the personal needs & goals they were trying to accomplish. All my kids were able to explain their goals & options. They teach a “worldly” view instead of only a “book” view which helped them want to learn. The staff is attentive & suppoettive to any changes with grades & never let grades to keep going down without intervention and offering help. As many kids as they have, it shows how good they are knowing many other schools with way less kids dont care if that happens until grades are failing.
