🌟 TCHS FBLA Gives Back! 🌟
Our FBLA members are proudly supporting Hope for Kids as this year’s community service project! 💛
Pictured are some of our amazing students with just a portion of the donations brought in by our school community. From toys to essentials, every item collected will help brighten the lives of children in need.
We are so grateful for the generosity of our students, staff, and families. Together, we are making a difference—one act of kindness at a time. 💫

To wrap up our first semester, Tift County CTI students took part in Georgia CTI Pre-Employment Training with Dr. Tonja Cummings Tift.
Students explored the importance of good hygiene and overall body care—not only for staying work-ready 💼 but also for preventing illness 🤧. Dr. Tift encouraged everyone to build morning and nighttime routines that fit their schedules, reminding them that wellness impacts not just themselves but the people around them 🤝.
They also learned how grooming connects directly to professionalism, as well as the value of honest communication with friends, even when difficult conversations arise. Dr. Tift emphasized that poor hygiene can close doors to future opportunities.
Students reviewed how healthy eating habits and lifestyle choices influence mood, energy, and long-term success 💪. Food truly is medicine, and nourishing the body is key to feeling and performing your best 👍.
No matter the career whether a farmer, custodian, teacher, barber, or any other profession, professionalism matters. And it all begins with good hygiene and a healthy lifestyle.

What Are High School Pathways?

High school pathways are structured programs of study that help students explore their interests and prepare for future careers or college opportunities. Each pathway connects classroom learning with real-world skills, giving students a chance to focus on specific areas-such as health sciences, engineering, business, arts, or technology-while still completing their core academic requirements.

By choosing a pathway, students can:

Explore potential careers and discover what they're passionate about.

Gain hands-on experience through projects, internships, or specialized courses.

Earn valuable credentials or college credits before graduation.

Build a strong foundation for success after high school, whether in college, technical training, or the workforce.

Pathways don't "lock" students into one career-they're designed to help students learn, explore, and make informed choices about their futures.

Tift County CTI students attended the Future Focus Transition Fair today hosted by Worth County High School.

Students had the opportunity to meet representatives from colleges, job training programs, community agencies, financial institutions, support services, and local businesses in our area. They connected with organizations including Albany Tech, Easter Seals, Goodwill, GVRA, South Georgia Banking Company, and Southern Regional Technical College. 🎓

Many students received valuable resources for life after graduation, along with guidance on filling out resumes and completing FAFSA. ✍️

A huge thank you to Ms. Jakin Tillery for hosting this event and inviting us to join. 💙

Whether our students are exploring work/employment, higher education, or independent living skills, this fair provided the tools and connections needed to plan for a bright future. 🚀 #RaiseTheBar #CTAEDelivers #4theT #ChallengingTheImpossible

🌱 Horticulture Class Update! 🌱

Our students have been BUSY these past few weeks, and we’re excited to share what they’ve been growing, studying, and discovering!

🪲 Integrated Pest Management
Students learned how real growers protect their crops by practicing pest scouting, insect identification, and pinning. They also studied the differences between beneficial insects and pest insects—and how both play an important role in a healthy greenhouse ecosystem.

💧 Alternative Growing Methods
From hydroponics to aquaponics, students explored how plants can thrive without traditional soil. They’ve been comparing systems, testing setups, and digging into what makes each method unique.

🚀 NASA Research Trial Begins!
We’ve officially launched our hydroponic beet-growing experiment in partnership with NASA! Students are cultivating beets under simulated drought conditions using a Veggie growth chamber model—just like the systems used on the International Space Station. 🌌 They’re collecting data, adjusting variables, and contributing to research connected to space agriculture. How cool is that?!

We’re proud of the curiosity, innovation, and problem-solving these students bring to the greenhouse every day. Stay tuned for more updates as their projects continue to grow! 🌿✨
