THANK YOU to all who have contributed early to The TMI Fund. Your gift is appreciated and counted toward our goal! If you have not made your annual gift to TMI this school year, please consider joining us in being ALL IN by making a donation to the 2022-2023 TMI Fund.
This ALL-COMMUNITY fundraising effort is our school’s yearly and most important giving program that raises funds in support of the daily operating budget. Through the annual campaign at TMI, our programs are strengthened and faculty and staff are provided with the tools necessary for students to learn at the highest level both inside and outside of the classrooms. The TMI Fund supports ALL aspects of our school and impacts students, teachers, academics, athletics, fine arts, Corps of Cadets, extracurricular activities, facilities, safety, grounds and technology at TMI.

Big Things Happening on Campus
Seniors Receive Appointments to Service Academies
Cadet 2nd LT Gretchen Tiede ’23 and Cadet 2nd LT Barron Cohoon ’23 both attended the Summer Leadership Camp at West Point this Summer and got a chance to live the life of a West Point Cadet. This program is designed to give prospective students the full experience of what life would be like as a future cadet and student at the school. Participants are required to pay their own way to and from the camp and our two cadets from TMI performed so well while at the camp that they qualified for a $750 check to help reimburse the cost of attending the camp. Cadet Gretchen Tiede qualified as the top performer in the entire state of Texas and received special recognition.
Today, Cadet Tiede has received a letter of assurance from West Point and Cadet Cohoon has received a letter of assurance to the Naval Academy and they both intend to accept their appointment and attend the service academies and pursue a career as a military officer.
