Tift County High School

🎉 PBIS Student of the Week: 🎉

Congratulations to this week’s outstanding student, Ari Torres, for her willingness to help others and her strong character! Ari was nominated by Mrs. Hope Vance, who shared:

"It’s been incredible to watch her confidence and personality continue to shine. Ari may not be the loudest voice in the classroom, but her presence speaks volumes through her kindness, reliability, and willingness to help others. She consistently shows up—not only academically, but in ways that reveal her strong character. Ari is always ready to lend a hand, whether it’s assisting teachers with extra tasks or helping classmates when they need support. Recently, when I asked if she could help during a meeting for Migrant Parents after school hours, she didn’t hesitate. She volunteered her free time, and using her fluency in both English and Spanish, she translated and made the children feel comfortable and included. Whatever career path she chooses, I have no doubt she will excel. Tift County High School is truly lucky to have her as a student and role model." Well done, Ari! 👏💙

A special thank you to Sumner Beaumont York & Kincaid Insurance Group for sponsoring our Student of the Week recognition!

Guest Speaker Spotlight! TCHS was proud to welcome alumnus John Aultman as a guest speaker to our ROTC and FCS classes! John, a 2021 TCHS graduate, attended ABAC before transferring to UGA, where he earned his B.S. in Agricultural Engineering this past May. During his senior year at UGA, John joined the U.S. Navy and completed Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island, over the summer. He is now serving as a Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer (Ensign O-1). Currently, John is participating in the Officer Hometown Area Recruitment Program (OHARP) but will soon move to Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, to begin his Basic Division Officer Course. In March, he’ll join the USS Nitze, where he will eventually oversee sailors who operate an aircraft carrier’s reactor and power supply systems. We are incredibly proud of John and wish him continued success in his Navy career! ⚓️💙 #4theT

We’re excited to announce our Hispanic Parent Meeting on Tuesday, November 11! Check the attached flyer for details. Thank you!

Last Friday, Tift County High CTI had the privilege of hosting Dr. Tonja Cummings Tift with Georgia CTI as our guest trainer! Our students learned about Cell Phone Etiquette, Small Talk, and Creating the Right Career Path, all with a fun Halloween theme! 🎃👻
They discovered how mannerisms, tone of voice, and professional communication make a HUGE difference. Dr. Tift also taught them how to start conversations, approach others with confidence, and build meaningful connections.
Students even had the chance to practice their etiquette and small talk skills, and many walked away with a new sense of confidence for the next time they speak up! As Dr. Tift reminds us, “Perfect practice makes perfect.” 💬✨
We are truly thankful for her impact in helping our students find their path, build confidence, and develop an “I Can” attitude. She’s definitely making a difference, and our students are realizing it! 💙 #challengetheimpossible #raisethebar #CTAEdelivers Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency - GVRA

🎃 TCHS students take on Trunk or Treat! 👻
