🇺🇸 Thomasville City Schools Honored to Take Part in Historic Events for Former Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III 🇺🇸
Yesterday was a historic day for Thomasville as our community celebrated former Secretary of Defense and Thomasville High School graduate, Lloyd J. Austin III. 🎖️👏
General Austin, a retired four-star general for the United States Army and former U.S. Secretary of Defense (2021-2025), was recognized in a street naming ceremony in downtown Thomasville, followed by a gravesite tribute to Lt. Henry O. Flipper—the first African American graduate of West Point.
Thomasville City Schools was proudly represented throughout the day:
🎵 The THS Band performed the National Anthem and closed the ceremony with "Go Bulldogs!" 🎺🐾
🎖️ THS AFJROTC presented the colors and led the Pledge of Allegiance to kick off the event.
🎼 THS student Eli Mateo performed TAPS during the gravesite tribute, standing alongside local West Point graduates.
This event was a powerful reminder of Thomasville’s rich history, distinguished alumni, and bright future. ❤️💛

The Thomasville City School’s Transition Fair is a free event for families of students with disabilities. It will provide valuable information on preparing for the future after high school.
The transition from school to work or to secondary education is often difficult. Representatives from useful agencies will be available to speak with you on matters related to education and advocacy, medical and legal issues, counseling and care, vocational rehab and employment services, and more. The key to success is planning!
Due to weather in January, this event was rescheduled for February 20, 2025, from 5 - 7 p.m. at the Thomasville High School Cafeteria.
For additional information, please reach out to Thomasville City Schools Parent Mentor, Maria Flanders at: flandersm@tcitys.org.
