Attended by many in the Class of 2021, the introductory GA featured the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn2RBKPMpU0 Rednecker than You] by Hardy, in reference to Hunter and Nathaniel's Caucasian heritage. The [[General Assembly|GA]] was a smashing hit, which can largely be attributed to Puranjay's influence in the class's popular culture.

==== Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat [Mini]Cakes" Fundraiser ====
Regarded as one of the most entertaining fundraisers in TAMS history, THAS raised over $100 for some charity by selling mini-cakes with a severed printed head of [[wikipedia:Marie_Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]], the last queen of France, who famously uttered [[wikipedia:Let_them_eat_cake|the insensitive phrase]] that contributed to the French Revolution.

==== Current Events Meeting—the "Fatal Meeting" ====
Several people, including [[Anthony Zhou]], Zach Tang, [[Abigail McDonald]], [[Gia-Uyen Tran]], and [[Temi Akinyoade|Temi]], attended what has become known as the "fatal meeting," a discussion of current events held by THAS in February 2020. In it, COVID-19 was discussed. Eeshan explained that rather than the "coronavirus," the virus should be known as its proper name, COVID-19, and participants theorized as to the extent to which the virus would shape the months to come. Little did they know that this was the last in-person THAS meeting until the [[Great Comeback]].

==== THAS Movie Night ====
This event was planned for after the Spring Break of 2020 but was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through Facebook and the Current Events Meeting, TAMS students voted on different historical movies they would like to watch, such as ''[[wikipedia:First_Man_(film)|First Man]], [[wikipedia:12_Years_a_Slave_(film)|12 Years a Slave]], [[wikipedia:Dunkirk_(2017_film)|Dunkirk]], [[wikipedia:Kesari_(2019_film)|Kesari]]'' (subtitled), ''[[wikipedia:They_Shall_Not_Grow_Old|They Shall Not Grow Old]],'' and ''[[wikipedia:Darkest_Hour_(film)|The Darkest Hour]]''. The movie chosen was Dunkirk, despite Kesari being the most popular choice.

== Community Service ==
==== Discover and Share Volunteering (D&S Volunteering) ====
This service was initially formatted as an opportunity for TAMS students to teach students at different elementary schools in DISD about different historical events that are often overlooked or sometimes not taught in classrooms through worksheets that contained videos, activities, and games to interact with the classroom. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this service morphed into educational videos intended to help students learn and prepare for the 5th grade Social Studies STAAR test examination, and overall serve as a free resource available to anyone. Although all of the 5th grade social studies TEKS were not covered, all of the videos uploaded list the specific TEKS requirement they cover. The videos can be found at the [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeIElE3eWveiOydjwuPocWw THAS YouTube channel].
