Preview Day
Welcome to the Texas Academy of Mathematics & Science Preview Day. We are excited you will be joining us on this journey exploring the important details of TAMS and what opportunities are available to students.
In-Person Preview Events
Preview Events are for parents, educators, and students in grades 7–11 who would like to explore the program in person by visiting staff and students.
Please note that financial aid and scholarships will not be discussed at these large scale events. We will be hosting more informal and smaller Zoom sessions for those interested and you will have the benefit of speaking directly with Ms. Cortney Watson who is our Director for Finance and Operations with the department.
