Titan Nation,

 

Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break! On behalf of your True North family, we hope you had a restful and joyful Thanksgiving. 

 

As our scholars returned to their campuses and classrooms, they were welcomed with a series of fun events that helped them get back into their scholarly routines while creating unforgettable memories as Titans. The week began strong with the announcement of the Titan Vault Holiday Sale, where every item is 30% off, and continued with a series of special activities, like the completion of Mr. Mendez’s Give Miami Day challenge, signing day for three of our student athletes, and a cinematic-like ending to our boys basketball game.

Let's #TitanUp and spread the Titan spirit this holiday season!

The Superintendent’s 

Holiday Card Art Exhibition

The Superintendent’s Holiday Card Art Exhibition, a highly selective virtual showcase hosted annually by Miami-Dade County Public Schools, has chosen artwork from two of our True North art scholars.

 

Congratulations to Abigail Quiñones and Amanda Gonzalez (10th Grade) for having their pieces selected for this competitive countywide exhibition featuring outstanding young artists from Miami-Dade Public Schools.

Give Miami Day Challenge: Mr. Mendez

Although Give Miami Day (GMD) 2025 has officially come to an end, the celebrations are still going strong across our campuses! This week, during High School lunch, our very own Mr. Patricio Mendez completed his GMD challenge. Mr. Mendez pledged that if his students raised $2,500, the highest donor would have the opportunity to cut his hair to their liking. 

 

This challenge was not only a Titan favorite, but created a friendly competition amongst students who wanted to put their barber skills to the test. Congratulations to Zander Guevarra! Not only did you help us reach our fundraising goal, but you also gave Mr. Mendez his new look.

Football Signing Day 

As our Football Season comes to its historic end, our Titans took a moment to celebrate three of their classmates who signed letters of intent with two distinguished universities to continue playing football at the collegiate level.

 

Duane Johnson, Malik Penson, and Dominic Turnbull we are very proud of you and look forward to seeing how you continue to build on your academic and athletic skills at the University of West Gorgia (UWG) and Florida International University (FIU). 

 

Congratulations! 

Varsity Basketball Game 

This week, our Boy's Varsity Basketball team pushed their winning streak to 6 victories. Our Titans played a contested game against the Florida Christian Patriots. The entire game featured a race to the lead. In fact, neither of the schools ever held a confident lead throughout the match. However, our Titan's perseverance and team effort led them to a buzzer-beater basket that helped them secure a 66-64 win.
