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! 💙

HUMMINGBIRDS | SET 2
The nominations kept coming—and we couldn’t be happier about it!
These Hummingbirds were recognized by their coworkers for the positive impact they have on the people around them. Whether through encouragement, kindness, teamwork, or simply being someone others can count on, they make Tift County Schools a better place.
Thank you for choosing to lift others! 💙

When we asked our staff to tell us about the “hummingbirds” in Tift County Schools, we knew there would be special people to recognize.
Our staff see the good in one another—and they took the time to tell us about the coworkers who encourage, support, inspire, and make a difference every day.
We’re excited to begin introducing you to some of our Tift County Schools Hummingbirds! Stay tuned, there are lots more to come!

What does it mean to be a Tift County Blue Devil? 💙
It’s pride. It’s tradition. It’s belonging to a community that supports one another and works together to achieve great things.
We asked our students, teachers, and staff what being a Blue Devil means to them—and their answers show that while every story is unique, we are all united by the T.
Take a look and hear what being a Tift County Blue Devil means to them!

It’s time for Admin Rapid Fire! The questions are quick, the answers are honest, and you never know what you might learn. This is going to be fast, so listen carefully!
Every teacher has a reason that inspires them, motivates them and brings them back to the classroom each day. We asked our teachers, “What is your why?” This is what they had to say.
