🔥 Our chapter is growing, connecting, and preparing for the future! 🔥
Our Tift County CTI students had a great time at Georgia CTI Pre-Employment Training with Dr. Tift! Students spent time learning about core values and exploring the questions: Who are you? What do you do? What makes you tick?
This lesson gave our students an opportunity to get to know one another, discover the values they share, and learn how understanding our values can help us better handle the situations we face throughout life.
We were amazed to discover that our chapter’s top five shared values were Loyalty, Peace, Family, Freedom, and Independence!
What a great way to build connections, strengthen our students, and prepare them for success beyond high school. The future is bright for Tift County CTI, and we are looking forward to an incredible year!

🌎🧳 Bringing History to Life at TCHS! 🇺🇸
Students in Coach Earls’ and Coach Smith’s classes stepped back in time with an interactive activity exploring immigration in the 1880s!
Each student took on the role of an immigrant, determined their port of origin, and worked through questions similar to those immigrants encountered when arriving at Ellis Island and Angel Island. 🗺️📜
This hands-on activity gave students a glimpse into the immigration experience while helping them better understand the challenges, decisions, and processes immigrants faced as they entered the United States.
We love seeing our students experience history beyond the textbook! 💙📚

🌻 Fall Blue Devil Blooms is officially underway!
A big thank-you to our wonderful subscription holders for supporting our floral design program! Today, our first arrangement was delivered through our partnership with our CTI program as part of their community service project, giving students the opportunity to practice communication and real-world workplace skills.
Our Floral Design students also created their first subscription arrangement! They learned how to create a clear-tape grid in glass vases and reviewed how different flowers and foliage come together to create a finished design.
Be on the lookout for next month’s arrangement! And if you missed out on the fall subscription, stay tuned later this semester for a chance to join our Spring Blue Devil Blooms subscription! 💐

Attendance is more than just being present—it’s the foundation for student success. Every school day gives students the opportunity to learn, build relationships, develop confidence, and prepare for their future. Missing just two days each month can quickly add up and impact academic achievement.
Together, let's encourage our students to show up, be engaged, and make every minute count. Every day. Every class. Every opportunity.

🧪🔬 FORENSIC SCIENCE IN ACTION! 🔬🧪
Students in Mrs. Alexander’s and Mrs. Staines’ classes got a hands-on look at the science behind breathalyzer tests!
Using mouthwash as part of the experiment, students explored how a breathalyzer detects alcohol in a person’s breath and learned about the science involved in analyzing the results.
This interactive lab gave students the opportunity to take concepts from the classroom and see how they connect to real-world forensic science applications. 🕵️♀️🔎
Hands-on learning makes science come to life! 💙
