Last night, we had the privilege of celebrating the success of students in our Adult English class at Eighth Street Middle School!
Through access to Rosetta Stone—purchased with Title III funds—students have successfully completed multiple instructional units and continue building their English language skills with confidence.
We are especially proud of the dedication shown by several of our ESOL students who attend classes on their own initiative, as well as those currently preparing to earn their GED. Their commitment to learning and personal growth is inspiring!
Opportunities like this reflect our commitment to supporting learners of all ages in our community.

🚨 Working Together for Safer Schools 🚨
On Friday, Tift County Schools hosted a first-of-its-kind event in South Georgia — a multi-agency tabletop emergency exercise focused on school safety facilitated in coordination with GEMA (Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security). Representatives from agencies across our community came together to discuss how each organization would respond in the event of an emergency situation at one of our schools.
Participants included Tift County Schools, Tifton Police Department, Tift County Sheriff’s Office, Tifton Fire Department, Tifton City Manager, Tift County Fire & Rescue, Tift County Department of Public Safety, Ruth’s Cottage/Patticake House, Air Evac, the Tift County District Attorney’s Office, the Department of Public Health, ABAC Police, Southwell Hospital staff, and several other community partners.
This important collaboration allowed agencies to clarify roles, strengthen communication, and build coordinated response strategies — all with one shared priority: the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
Through opportunities like this, we continue to Collaborate | Learn | Achieve as we work together to keep our schools safe.
