In order to recognize the teachers who have gone above and beyond with implementing the effective use of technology in classroom instruction, this year the Thomas County School System named the second annual Digital Learning All-Star Teacher at each school and for the district. Daphney King, a fourth grade teacher Cross Creek Elementary School, was selected as the district winner.

“The Thomas County School System has made a significant investment in technology for our students and teachers as a result of having E-SPLOST funds and receiving other grants," said Erin Rehberg, Digital Learning Coordinator for Thomas County Schools. "It is important to reward those teachers who have used the technology provided to them to effectively transform the learning process in their classrooms.  Not only do all of our Digital Learning All-Star Teachers effectively use technology with their students, they are also known for helping their peers with various technology tools.”

Each school held a nomination process with the winner for each school completing an application in order to compete for the district title. This year, the district winner was awarded a Google Chromebook courtesy of Firefly Computers and will be able to attend an educational technology conference in the fall.  

Head coach Ashley Henderson says everyone involved in the football program takes it very seriously and wants to put the same level of care into academics as in strength and conditioning, nutrition and skill development. This gives them a chance to know students on a more personal level and talk to players about topics other than just ball.

Begun in the 2012-2013 school year, the program has expanded to the middle and elementary school levels as well. Its mission is to improve STEM education while providing an opportunity for students to develop their critical thinking.
