Each month, a different school will provide a brief student inspiration to open the meeting. These presentations and performances will highlight the talents, achievements and voices of our students while showcasing the many ways they learn, lead and excel throughout Tift County Schools.
Kason Horner, president of the TCHS Senior Class, presented our first student inspiration, which included the opening prayer and thoughtful remarks.
Thank you, Kason, for helping us begin this new tradition and starting our meeting with a focus on the students of Tift County!

What does it take to be a Hummingbird?
Sometimes it’s offering encouragement. Sometimes it’s stepping in to help. Sometimes it’s listening. And sometimes it’s simply bringing a positive attitude into the room.
These staff members are doing just that, and their coworkers wanted them to know it! 💙

Council members had an opportunity to get to know one another, learn about the roles and responsibilities of serving on the council, and provide feedback on a new menu item that will be served in the cafeteria at all schools next week.
Students shared their perspectives with Mrs. Howell through a “Keep, Change, Create” activity:
✅ KEEP: What is working well for students that we should protect?
🔄 CHANGE: What makes school harder, less engaging, or less effective than it needs to be?
💡 CREATE: What is missing that would make Tift County Schools better for students?
We look forward to these students representing their peers, sharing the student perspective, and helping us continue to improve throughout the year!

Parrish Construction hosted a Topping Out Ceremony, giving everyone working on the project the opportunity to sign the final structural beam before it was lifted and secured into place.
This milestone represents the dedication and hard work of so many people who are helping bring this new facility to life. We are excited to continue watching the progress and look forward to the day our students and staff walk through its doors!

Ten sets in, and we still have so many Hummingbirds to celebrate!
Each name represents someone whose kindness, encouragement, attitude, or willingness to help has made an impression on a coworker.
Keep making a difference. People notice—even when you don’t realize it!

We continue to be overwhelmed—in the very best way—by the number of staff members who took the time to recognize someone else.
That says something special about our Tift County Schools family. Our people notice the good in each other, and today we get to celebrate even more of it!
Meet our next group of Hummingbirds!

The impact of a Hummingbird can be found in the little things—a kind word, a helping hand, an encouraging smile, or simply being there when someone needs you.
Today, we’re celebrating another group of staff members whose positive impact has been noticed by their coworkers!
Thank you for making a difference every day. 💙

One of the best parts of this recognition has been reading what our staff members have to say about one another.
Behind every name is a story of someone who made a coworker’s day a little easier, offered encouragement when it was needed, or consistently brought positivity to their workplace.
Let's celebrate another group of our Hummingbirds! 💙
