Game day
Getting to Tualatin High School.
Tualatin High School sits at 22300 SW Boones Ferry Rd, about five minutes from 22379 SW 107th Ave. Home basketball, wrestling, and swimming events run through the school year, and the athletics page at tuhs.ttsdschools.org posts schedules, ticket details, and live-streaming links as game dates firm up.
Fans who have followed the fall Timberwolves football playoff push know the drill: arrive early for spirit night themes, wear the school colors, and let the booster club handle the concessions. Winter basketball brings the same community energy indoors, and it is the easiest ticket in town on a cold January night.
The season dates slot neatly into the TTSD 2026-27 school calendar, with winter break arriving right as league play heats up. For the wider picture of what is happening around town this winter, the Tualatin events calendar keeps everything in one place.
