END OF THE YEAR REMINDER:
As we approach the end of the school year, we want to remind everyone to finish strong and represent our school with pride. While we understand the excitement that comes with the end of classes, end-of-year pranks are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
What may seem like a harmless joke can lead to serious consequences, including disciplinary action, loss of privileges (such as participation in graduation or senior events), and even legal consequences in some cases.
Let’s work together to ensure a safe, respectful, and positive environment for all students and staff as we close out the year. Celebrate responsibly, and make choices that reflect your maturity and respect for our school community.

🚀 Introducing TALOS: Guardian of the BlueDevils
Technology-Activated Learning & Operations System
Forged in the fires of creativity and code, TALOS is the guardian of innovation for the BlueDevils. Part myth, part machine, and all heart—he protects curiosity, inspires learning, and stands ready wherever technology meets teamwork. Whether he’s introducing younger students to computer science or helping high schoolers interact with the future, TALOS is more than a machine—he’s a mission.
The name TALOS comes from Greek mythology. Talos was a giant bronze guardian created by Hephaestus, the god of invention and fire, to protect the island of Crete. He was one of the earliest imaginings of a robot—strong, loyal, and programmed with purpose. Our TALOS carries that legacy forward as a 21st-century protector of innovation, guarding opportunity and inspiring problem-solving in every hallway he enters.
TALOS was made possible through the support of the Bright Ideas Grant, Perkins V Federal Funding, and the Georgia Computer Science Capacity Grant.
The Bright Ideas Grant project, titled “Delivering the Future Now,” was created to bring advanced robotics and automation into the daily operations of Tift County High School. This initiative bridges the gap between theory and practice, giving students hands-on experience in STEM, computer science, and business operations.
TALOS lives and learns with Dr. Busbin and her Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence students at Tift County High School, where he supports classroom instruction, student projects, and real-world learning through robotics and automation.
TALOS may appear at select school events or make classroom visits across the district. Like a K-9 unit and its handler, TALOS operates under the guidance of Dr. Busbin and is used to support structured, curriculum-based experiences across grade levels.
From Pre-K STEM to high school, TALOS will help students across Tift County Schools explore the cutting edge of education in real time—removing barriers, sparking curiosity, and delivering the future now. #TALOS #BlueDevilPride #DeliveringTheFutureNow #BrightIdeasGrant #CTAE #STEMinTift #FutureReady #4theT #CTAEdelivers#LetsGrowTogether
