Congratulations to Thomas He, our Tift County High School Positive Behavior Impact Student of the Month for March!
Thomas truly represents what it means to Raise the Bar at TCHS. He is a model student who consistently excels both in and out of the classroom. Academically, Thomas is a high achiever, maintaining a superior GPA and taking rigorous, challenging courses with dedication and determination.
Beyond academics, Thomas is deeply involved in our school community. He is a member of the tennis team, serves as President of the STEM Club, is a Youth of the Year Finalist, and is an active FBLA officer. One of his most impactful roles is serving as a youth mentor, where he teaches AI and Robotics to K–5 students, helping inspire the next generation of innovators.
What truly sets Thomas apart is his character. He is kind, helpful, and resilient, always taking challenges in stride and continuing to push himself to grow. His work ethic, leadership, and positive attitude make a lasting impact on everyone around him.
Through his actions, Thomas continues to exemplify the values of PBIS and what it means to be a Blue Devil.
We are incredibly proud of Thomas for leading by example and making a difference in our school and community!

The Georgia Department of Education Parent Satisfaction Survey for Special Education is now open through May 31, 2026, and we would love to hear from our families.
This survey provides an opportunity for parents and guardians to share what is going well and where improvements can be made. Your feedback helps guide decisions at both the district and state levels and strengthens how we support students with disabilities.
Last year, 352 parents participated, and we hope to build on that number this year. Every response truly makes a difference.
As you visit our schools for meetings and events, please take a few minutes to complete the survey. A link has been shared with families of our students with disabilities through email and Infinite Campus.
Thank you for partnering with us to support our students!

During the activity, students examined their own bite marks on a variety of textures, counted their teeth, and measured the distance between them. They then tested their bite patterns on different types of candy, comparing how each material captured impressions.
Afterward, students ranked the candies based on how clearly they displayed bite marks. This hands-on experience allowed students to observe the variability in bite mark evidence and better understand why it is not always considered a reliable or definitive tool in forensic investigations.
Great job bringing science to life!
