Everything we do at Thomas A. Edison High School is possible because of the cooperative partnership between our parents, staff and students. More than a school community, our common purpose unites us into the "Edison village."

It is gratifying to see the changes that happen in our Edison families within this supportive environment. As students accept the responsibility for their own learning, parents are relieved to find they can simply "be parents" again-able to enjoy their kids and focus on their positive qualities.

By educating the greater community about what we do, our hope is to have a positive impact on as many families affected by learning differences as possible. We invite you to learn more, and let others know about Thomas A. Edison High School.
