Spotlight on Michelle Huffman: Principal of Northeast Middle School
Michelle Huffman, originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, is the principal of Northeast Middle School. A 1996 graduate of South View High School, Mrs. Huffman brings 24 years of educational experience to Tift County Schools, where she is serving her first year as principal.
Mrs. Huffman is supported by her husband, Chris, and their children: Keely, Kaleb, and Kamden. For her, the most rewarding part of being a principal is the interactions with kids and families during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup, as well as seeing them in the community.
Her greatest challenge, however, is helping students recognize their own excellence. She is passionate about encouraging students to believe in themselves as much as their teachers and staff do, knowing that their potential is limitless if they strive to be their best every day.
Thank you, Mrs. Huffman, for your dedication to Tift County students! #4theT

Spotlight on Randy Sellars: Principal of Charles Spencer Elementary
Randy Sellars, principal of Charles Spencer Elementary, is a 1998 graduate of Tift County High School and brings 17 years of experience in education to his leadership role. Now in his second year as principal, Mr. Sellars is known for his dedication to creating a positive environment for his students. He and his wife, Beth, have been married for over 21 years and are proud parents to three children: Brady (13), and twins Gavin and Gracie (10).
For Mr. Sellars, the most rewarding part of his job is being a positive influence in the lives of his students. However, the most challenging aspect is the difficulty of not being able to instantly solve all the educational and non-educational struggles his students face. Despite these challenges, his commitment to helping students thrive remains strong.
Thank you, Mr. Sellars, for your service to the students of Tift County! #4theT
