🐾❤️💛 Saturday Shoutout: Welcome to NHS! 🎓
This Saturday, we’re giving a BIG Bulldog shoutout to 55 Thomasville High School students recently inducted into the Helen M. Fortney Chapter of the National Honor Society!
Representing the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, these students earned this recognition through their commitment to the four pillars of NHS: scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
The annual ceremony also included a special senior pinning for the Class of 2027, recognizing our senior NHS members as they continue their final year at THS. 🎓
Congratulations to our newest NHS members and seniors! We’re proud of you and the example you’re setting for your fellow Bulldogs! ❤️💛🐾

Some of the BEST Bulldog stories are about more than what happens in the classroom. They're about the dreams our students work toward and the people who help them get there.
For Thomasville High School student Nicholas Ricks, that dream was following in his father's footsteps and working in a grocery store. 🛒❤️
After years of developing life skills, job-readiness skills, and confidence through THS transition programming, Nicholas recently walked into Bob and Jeff's IGA for his very first job interview.
By noon, he had a job offer! 🎉
And the best part? After each shift, Nicholas has proudly shared with his supported-employment provider:
“Mrs. Ashley, I work hard today.” ❤️
Behind this milestone is a team of people who believed in Nicholas and helped him prepare for this moment—from Ms. Connery and his family to Joshua's Tree, GVRA, and our community partners.
This is what Bulldog +1 is all about: helping our students build the skills, confidence, and opportunities to succeed beyond graduation.
Nicholas, we are SO proud of you! Keep working hard and showing the world what Bulldogs can do! ❤️💛🐾
Once a Bulldog. Always a Bulldog.

Our Scottie Dog Kindergarteners had a special visitor recently—Johnny Appleseed! 🍏
Students enjoyed hearing stories about his life and sharing plenty of giggles as he read Ten Apples Up on Top! by Dr. Seuss.
We LOVE seeing our youngest Scotties experience the joy of reading through fun, engaging moments that bring stories to life!
A little storytelling, a lot of laughter, and a whole lot of learning! ❤️💛🍎

Our Jerger Elementary 5th-grade GATES students recently took geography learning to a whole new level!
To wrap up their map study unit, Mrs. Keaton’s students rotated through hands-on stations where they explored U.S. states and capitals, mapped countries around the world, tested their geography knowledge with Guess in 10, and even created their own topographical maps to better understand landforms and elevation! 📍⛰️
We LOVE seeing our students put their knowledge to work through creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving!
Way to go, Jerger! Keep exploring and learning! ❤️💛🐾

Our MacIntyre Park Middle School 7th graders are taking science beyond the classroom and into the creek!
Through a partnership with Georgia Adopt-A-Stream, Mrs. Russo’s Life Science students are conducting hands-on water quality testing at Sunbeam/Hero Creek in MacIntyre Park.
From testing water chemistry to collecting and identifying macroinvertebrates (small organisms living in the water), our Bulldogs are gathering REAL scientific data to help monitor the health of our local ecosystem! 💧🌿
This is more than a science lesson—students are becoming citizen scientists, using critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world data to understand how environmental conditions affect the world around them.
A BIG Bulldog thank-you to Golden Triangle RC&D for donating the testing kits and Adopt-A-Stream Coordinator Julie Shutters for supporting this incredible learning experience!
📊 Check out our students’ actual stream data:

We LOVE seeing our Bulldogs learn by doing and make a difference right here in our community! ❤️💛🐾

Recently, our Harper Eagles celebrated Johnny Appleseed Week with a fun—and tasty—learning experience!
Students sampled different varieties of apples and then added their names to a classroom graph to show which ones they liked best. 📊🍎
It was a sweet way to combine hands-on learning, data skills, and trying something new!
Great job, Harper Eagles! ❤️💛

💐❤️💛 Another FFA Spotlight—and We’re Still GROWING! 🌱
As we head into another week, we’re excited to share another look at the great things happening in our Thomasville High School FFA program!
This time, we’re celebrating senior Blakeley Mears, who recently put in some extra work preparing for the Floral Design CDE. Blakeley attended a Floral Design Clinic where she gained hands-on experience creating a bud vase, bouquet, and boutonnière. 💐
We love seeing our students step outside the classroom to practice, learn, and build skills through new experiences.
Our FFA program is growing, our students are growing, and we’re excited to see what’s ahead! 🌱💐🐾

Even though our Bulldogs are enjoying Fall Break, we couldn’t let National School Lunch Week pass without celebrating the incredible TCS School Nutrition staff who take care of our students every day!
Following a recent visit and hands-on learning with Georgia Department of Education School Nutrition Culinary Specialist Michael DuBose, our teams are already putting new ideas, techniques, and flavors into action—creating delicious meals for our Bulldogs. 👩🍳👨🍳
But their impact goes far beyond what’s on the tray. ❤️
From our littlest Bulldogs in Pre-K to our biggest Bulldogs preparing for graduation, our School Nutrition staff helps make sure students are fed, cared for, and ready for the school day. They learn students’ names, greet them with a smile, encourage them, and help make our cafeterias a welcoming part of each school.
This week, we celebrate the people behind the meals. Thank you, Bulldog Nutrition, for feeding and taking care of our Bulldogs each and every day! ❤️💛🐾

Recently, Thomasville High School senior football players had the opportunity to recognize a teacher from their middle or high school years who has made an impact on their lives.
During a special breakfast for Thomasville High School and Scholars Academy staff, each senior stood to recognize the teacher they selected. The best part? The teachers had no idea they were going to be recognized. ❤️
Among those special connections were Dana Rainey, chosen by senior Jabarri Robinson; Lauren DeLay, chosen by senior Isaiah Palacios; and Joy Knop, chosen by senior Nyier Harris. Each had taught these young men at some point along their journey from middle to high school.
These are the moments that remind us that a teacher’s impact often reaches far beyond the classroom—and sometimes you don’t realize just how much you’ve meant to a student until years later.
That’s a pretty great Friday Feel. ❤️💛🐾

Last week, Scott Elementary welcomed families for a Data Dig Parent Night focused on helping parents better understand their child’s learning and growth.
Families learned how to read benchmark and MAP results and took home practical strategies they can use to support learning at home. And because learning can be fun, families also enjoyed Book Fair treasures and Snow King Shaved Ice! 📚🍧
We love seeing our families and educators working together to help our Scottie Dogs learn, grow, and succeed! ❤️💛

Students in Ms. Knop’s class at Scholars Academy have been learning about the different types of governments in Africa—and recently put that learning to the test with a hands-on challenge!
Each group was assigned a type of government and challenged to build a structure out of straws that represented how that government is organized and operates. It was a creative way for students to take what they’ve been studying and turn it into something they could see, build, and better understand.
Hands-on learning + teamwork + a little creativity = a great day in the classroom! 🌍🐾
Way to go, Scholars!
