Strong Start at Dueling Summits Cross Country Meet
Our Tift County Middle School Cross Country team had a fantastic showing yesterday at the Dueling Summits Cross Country Meet! Our boys team placed 4th and girls placed 10th.
With hundreds of runners competing, our boys made their mark with three runners finishing in the Top 25, an impressive accomplishment in a highly competitive field.

Our girls had an equally exciting day, with every runner recording a personal record (PR)! Their hard work, determination, and commitment to improving showed on the course.
We are incredibly proud of the effort our entire team put forth today. What a great way to start the season! The best is yet to come! 🏃♀️🏃♂️💙

📈 Sustained Growth in Middle School Math!
The same group of Tift County students has demonstrated remarkable progress in math over the past two years:
🔹 FY24 – 6th Grade: 26% Proficient and Distinguished
🔹 FY25 – 7th Grade: 30% Proficient and Distinguished
🔹 FY26 – 8th Grade: 44% Proficient and Distinguished
This cohort increased the percentage of students performing at the Proficient and Distinguished levels by 18 percentage points—a nearly 70% increase in just two years!
This sustained growth reflects the dedication of our students, teachers, and staff and shows what is possible through consistent, focused instruction. Tift County is truly moving the needle in middle school mathematics!
