Between the dates of May 26 through 29, seniors participated in senior week, an annual celebratory tradition dedicated to seniors. It began with senior skip day on Tuesday, followed by a rally and Jamba Juice on Wednesday, jersey day and ice cream on Thursday and Next Steps Day and burritos on Friday.
Senior Tate Donaldson is committed to Williams University, and enjoyed many of the senior week activities.
“[Senior week] really separates us from the rest of the school, makes us feel really special and that’s what I love about it,” Donaldson said.
Senior week is also an opportunity for seniors to bond and celebrate, according to senior Brittney Blair.
“I think senior week is important because it’s a good way to send us all off and create new memories,” Blair said.
Next Steps day ended the week, and offered the opportunity for seniors to wear clothing showcasing their college decisions or plans for after high school.
“Decision day [was my favorite part], seeing where everyone’s committed, and being proud of it and representing it,” senior Shane Pastel said.
![Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations Corbett Elsen presented an updated budget proposal for the 2026-27 fiscal year to the Tamalpais Union High School District (TUHSD) board of trustees on Tuesday, June 16.
Elsen presented an in-depth analysis of the district’s revenues, expenditures, future outlooks and the global and economic uncertainties affecting the district's revenue due to inflation and the war in Iran.
Because TUHSD is a basic-aid district, Elsen explained the significance of the housing market, stressing the gravity of the district’s financial situation as a result of lower demand.
“This is the bread and butter of our revenue: property tax revenues, [projected] to bring in over $93 million,” Elsen said, adding, “But ... we have decreased our revenue growth rate [projections].”
Elsen will return to the board of trustees on June 23, where the board will take formal action to adopt the proposed budget.
