Ok, lets try and cover some of the things that have been brought up in other reviews. I attended TPHS from 2004-2007 so I can say I have some of the most recent experience here. First of all, a football team doesnt make the school. We didnt have Lincoln Way East's or Joliet Catholic's type of prestige

Secondly, the school is not racist or anything of that nature. The diversity in this school is what makes this school so amazing. We dont have tension between races or anything like that. Never had any problems with gangs. I had the opportunity to go to Andrew, Lincoln Way East, and Sandburg after 2 years at TPHS and I passed it up to continue going there. Read less

TPHS is probably one of the best schools that anyone could attend. The diversity, academics, teachers, athletics, etc. It has a great family feeling. As with anything in life nothing is perfect! I attended TP when Mr. Reed was principal (a long time ago) and I loved the school then and I love the school

I adore the principal, Dr. Theresa Zielinski (a former TP student as well) and most of the staff is awesome. I chose my home based on my children being able to attend this school. I think that whatever school you go to, you get out of it what you put into it. TP is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone! GO TITANS! P.S. yes the sports Read less

I graduated from TPHS a few years ago the guidance staff was most helpful when choosing a college. The rest of the staff is just as good. The diversity is what makes TPHS a wonderful school. I am now working on my bachelors degree in early childhood education, thanks to TPHS early childhood classes

This school is lousy as far as diversity is concerned. TPHS try to place all minority children in low tracks whereas they aren't learning anything. It's racist undertones all throughout this school. The counselors aren't helpful at all. Trust me I know from past experience. They told me I was best suited
