🎒✨ Middle School Is Closer Than You Think! ✨🎒
Big things are ahead for rising 6th graders, and new opportunities await current middle school students, too.
As students grow, so do their opportunities—and Thomasville City Schools offers an experience designed to help them thrive. Our new 6–12 campus provides an open, welcoming environment that is easy to navigate, with grade-level areas that keep students connected and supported within a close-knit school community.
Here’s what sets TCS apart:
• Smaller class sizes that allow for stronger relationships and personalized learning
• Challenging academic rigor that prepares students for high school, college, and careers
• Exceptional arts programs, including dance, drama, visual arts, and music
• Expanded athletic opportunities, especially for multi-sport student-athletes
• A unified campus that supports growth across academics, arts, and athletics
Through our Bulldog +1 initiative, students also benefit from expanded real-world learning opportunities made possible through partnerships with local businesses, higher education, and industry leaders including Cleaver-Brooks, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), Southern Regional Technical College (SRTC), Georgia Tech, and many others. These partnerships help students explore future pathways early and build connections that extend beyond the classroom.
📌 New student enrollment opens February 3rd.
Whether your student is preparing for middle school or looking for new opportunities, Thomasville City Schools offers a place to discover interests, build confidence, and grow as a learner and leader.
The future is bright and it starts right here at Thomasville City Schools.

🎬🌦️ Saturday Shoutout – Student Spotlight! 🌞🎬
Lights, camera, action!
We’re shining the spotlight on Cooper Sedam, a 4th grade student at Jerger Elementary, who was selected as a WCTV Weather Kid! 🌟
Cooper has a big passion for weather and science and is a regular viewer of WCTV’s weather segment—so being chosen for this opportunity was a dream come true. His official debut aired this past Thursday, where he had the chance to visit the studio, meet the WCTV team, and join the weather segment alongside the professionals.
It’s incredible to see a student’s curiosity and love for learning turn into a real-life experience that he’ll remember forever. A huge thank you to WCTV for inspiring young learners and creating moments that truly make an impact for a lifetime!
👏 Shoutout to Mrs. Teehee, Cooper’s science teacher, for helping grow his love for weather and science, and to our amazing TCS teachers who pour into our students every day. These partnerships and passions are what learning is all about!
👉 Take a peek at Cooper’s Weather Kid debut:

Way to go, Cooper—we can’t wait to see where your weather dreams take you! ☀️🌪️🦖

What an unforgettable day for our 5th graders!
To celebrate their positive behavior, they took a surprise PBIS adventure to Paradise Park--sunshine, games, friendship, and lots of smiles. ☀️🎈
And just when students thought it couldn’t get any better… SURPRISE pizza delivery! 🍕
Way to go, 5th grade! Keep leading the way with your amazing choices! 💙




Our afterschool kiddos did an AMAZING job cleaning up and showing just how much they care about our school!
Thank you, students, for leading by example and making a difference! 🧽🌟
Our young artists are already diving into creativity, color, and paint! To help us keep little hands (and big messes) a tad cleaner, we are kindly asking for baby wipe donations for the art room.
Every pack helps- thank you for supporting our students as they make masterpieces! 💛
