School Holiday
Instructional coaches and lead teachers from across Tift County Schools came together to provide powerful professional learning for our Pre-K–5 Instructional Coaches and Early Intervention (EIP) teachers—what a fantastic day in Tift County Schools!

Neicy Tompkins, Katie Wisham, and Sherri Coarsey led a session on HMH Waggle & Personalized Path, part of our HMH Into Math resource, strengthening our ability to support personalized learning for students. Ginger Harn and Emily Head guided participants through what to expect on the Georgia Milestones assessment for grades 3–5, equipping our teams with valuable insight and clarity.

We also had the opportunity to observe two of our K–12 coaches during a live coaching cycle, allowing us to reflect, refine, and grow in our own coaching practice.

We are grateful for the leadership, collaboration, and commitment to excellence shown by these incredible educators. Tift County Schools is stronger because of you!

Helping shape the future of Tift County Schools!

Yesterday, our Staff and Student Advisory Councils met and had a great opportunity to provide feedback in two exciting ways. First, they taste-tested a new Pork Quesadilla, prepared by Chef Lo, that will be hitting cafeteria menus in March — and it was a big hit!

They also got an inside look at progress on our new middle school, reviewing exterior brick and metal selections along with interior flooring and carpet options. Their voice and perspective play an important role as we plan spaces and experiences our students.

We appreciate these staff and student leaders for sharing their time, ideas, and enthusiasm as we continue to Collaborate, Learn & Achieve! #4theT

Northeast Middle School Intro to Healthcare students have been diving into Standard HS-IHS-6.1, exploring the legal responsibilities healthcare workers face, including topics like negligence, malpractice, privacy, and civil and criminal law. To bring their learning to life, they traveled to Atlanta for a law lesson at the Georgia State Bar Association. They wrapped up the experience with a fun, hands-on mock trial, where B.B. Wolfe sued Curly Pig for injuries from climbing down Curly’s fireplace, proving that learning the law can be both educational and entertaining! #CTAEDELIVERS

📚 Black History Month Spotlight

Carter G. Woodson, often called the “Father of Black History,” dedicated his life to ensuring Black history was studied, recognized, and celebrated. In 1926, he launched what began as Negro History Week — the foundation of today’s Black History Month.

His work reminds us that understanding history helps shape a stronger, more inclusive future.
