THORNHILL SECONDARY SCHOOL
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The T.S.S.A.A. was formed in 2004 after the highly successful 50th Anniversary Reunion, as a way to keep former students in touch with each other and with Thornhill Secondary School.
To date, the Association has helped to fund various School initiatives including the Thornhill Secondary School 50th Anniversary Scholarship presented annually in perpetuity, to a deserving graduating student and the Charlie Seath Award, given annually to a junior student deemed to exhibit the best of Thornhill?s traditional school spirit.
In addition, this year we are proud to announce the TSSAA Next Step
Bursary. It will be presented at Commencement annually to a worthy graduating student in need of financial assistance which will enable them to continue their education or training after high school.
Without your volunteer efforts, donations, participation in the T.S.S.A.A, and support of events, these awards and initiatives could not be realized.
Therefore, we are not asking for membership fees but instead encourage you to support the T.S.S.A.A with any amount.
All donations over $20 will receive a tax receipt.

Post Proelium Praemium ........ "After the Struggle, The Reward!"
More than 20,000 men and women have passed through our doors which were opened 50 years ago in 1954. Were you one of them? Whether you were here for a short time or are a lifelong learner, we invite you to be part of our Alumni Association. We look forward to hearing from you and welcome you back to the TSS family.
The History of our school motto:
In early September 1954, a group of staff and students led by Mr. Lavender began the task of creating the foundations for a student council.
In ensuing meetings, the topic of a motto came up and it seemed appropriate that "Post Proleum Praemium" (After the Struggle ....The Reward) would be the motto of choice. All work was achieved when the staff and students were on shift and those involved had to make their own way in in the morning and then go to school in the afternoon, so it was indeed a strugle upon whoch there was a great reward.
The motto has been most appropriate because it applies to all facets of school life.
The goals of the TSSAA are to:
Transcend and build relationships among TSS alumni and with the school through social, academic and other events,
Support students for a career through job shadowing and mentorship programs,
Sustain a positive image of TSS graduates in the Thornhill Community,
Advance the educational, athletic and social achievements of TSS students, and
Award scholarships and grants to current students of TSS.
