Thomas County Middle School’s Lego League team, the Electro Avengers, recently traveled to Columbus, Ga for the FLL Super Region Competition on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023. During this competition, the team placed first overall earning the coveted Champion’s Award! This first-place achievement means the team will move directly on to State Competition at Georgia Tech on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2023.

Pictured below, the Electro Avengers pose with their Champion’s Award from left to right are Coach Samantha Sturrup, Charlie Thornhill, Zach King, Simeon Sturrup, Royson Thompson, Lyra McLain, Jayden Rodrigues, Raylynn Fykes, Kyndall Hughes, Wyatt Shifferd, Chavita Santoya and Coach William Hanna.

Students on 8th-grade MERIT Team Zulu recently traveled to Andersonville to tour the National Prisoner of War Museum and the prison grounds. The students were led on a tour of the grounds by a park ranger who explained the location, intake of prisoners, and prison life. The field trip was a culminating activity for the Georgia Studies unit on the Civil War.

On January 7, 2023, middle school band students from around the state converged at Union Grove Middle School in McDonough, GA for the second round of GMEA Middle School All-State Band auditions.  Of the hundreds of tuba players who went through the rigorous audition process from around the state, only fourteen students, along with two alternate positions were chosen.  Thomas County Middle School’s Carter Weiss was selected as one of those making the 2023 GMEA Middle School All-State Band.  Hudson Wynn was selected as first alternate.

The GMEA All-State Band Clinic will take place at The Classic Center in Athens, GA, on March 2 - 4, 2023, with a special concert performance on Saturday, March 4, 2023.

The Thomas County Board of Education held its first meeting of the new calendar year Tuesday night. After the invocation, outgoing chair Mark NeSmith declared the positions of chair and vice chair vacant and asked for nominations.

Board member Ken Harper made a motion that Leah Smith be elected chair and that Dan Stewart be elected vice chair. Chris Hayes seconded Harper’s motion.  NeSmith called for any additional nominations. There were no additional nominations, so Smith and Stewart were elected to their respective roles with no dissenting votes.

Smith has been a member of the board since 2018, and this is her first time serving as chair. Smith is a registered nurse at the Thomasville Eye Center. She and her husband, Ben, have two children in the school system.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue representing Thomas County’s students, parents, and taxpayers with my re-election,” Smith said. “As the chair, I’m excited for all of the wonderful things this year holds for our school system. Working alongside Dr. Williams, vice chair Dan Stewart, the other board members, and our staff to channel your voices, I look forward to witnessing Thomas County’s successes.”

Fifth Graders in Ms. Beck and Mrs. Clapper's social studies classes have been learning about the Roaring 20’s. Students recently learned about the different candies made during that time period. As part of the lesson, students completed an Escape Room activity packed with lots of fun facts about ten different candies made and eaten during the 20's.  Upon "escape", each student received a goodie bag and a cup of grape Kool Aid!

The Thomas County School System recently held the official groundbreaking for a new 122,000 square foot multi-purpose building housed on the Thomas County Central High School campus. The new building, expected to be completed in 2024, will feature a state of the art band facility, new home for the JROTC program, new basketball locker rooms for both girls and boys varsity and junior varsity programs, a full gymnastics and cheerleading gymnasium, football locker rooms for the varsity and junior varsity teams, presentation room, health classrooms, modern weight room, and a full 120 yard indoor practice field for football, soccer, baseball, softball, and golf. The groundbreaking was held to kick off the beginning of Phase I which includes the addition of a new student parking lot which will allow room on the high school campus for the new facility. School board members, community members, and district and school administrative staff were present for the event.
