📢 Due to the potential for inclement weather, our Teachers of the Year and True Blue Award winners will be recognized pregame at tonight’s football game.

Come out and help us celebrate these outstanding representatives of Tift County Schools! 💙 #4theT

There’s so much work that goes into starting a new school year. While teachers prepare their classrooms and the inside of our buildings are readied for learning, we want to give a special shout-out to our Grounds, Maintenance, and Operations Department for going above and beyond to make sure the outside of all of our schools were also ready for Day 1.
From pressure washing the front of every building, laying fresh pine straw, and trimming hedges, to even building a wall to create a much-needed space — These dedicated team members worked tirelessly behind the scenes to support our students and staff, and we simply want to say… THANK YOU!
