Timothy Nguyen

Recent Saint Thomas’ Episcopal School graduate Timothy Nguyen (pictured) made tennis history. The standout athlete was the first tennis player to win four consecutive Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) 4A Men’s Singles Tennis State Championships. This was the perfect finale for his exceptional high school career, both on the court and in the classroom. Timmy’s academic and athletic record earned him a spot in the incoming freshman class at The University of Chicago, where he will play tennis while working towards a bachelor’s degree. “Timmy is a top-100, 4-star recruit,” said STE athletic director Chris Twine. “We are very proud of him and are excited to continue following his trajectory after graduation!”
