Through this partnership, students will have increased access to licensed mental health professionals who can provide counseling and support —right here in our school community. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to the well-being of every student and to creating safe, supportive environments where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We are grateful for this opportunity to work together in supporting the whole child.
Thank you GaDOE for listening to our concerns and acknowledging the importance of providing service opportunities to our students in need. We hope to expand this service to all students in the near future.
For additional information, please contact your school principal or school counselor.

Our 8th grade Blue Devils had an amazing opportunity to visit Tift County High School today to explore all the Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) pathways available to them next year!
From hands-on experiences in agriculture and culinary arts to exploring technology and media production, our students got a firsthand look at the incredible opportunities waiting for them at TCHS. It's exciting to see them discovering their passions and planning for their futures!
Thank you to TCHS for hosting us and showing our students the many ways they can turn their interests into career-ready skills. The future is bright for these Blue Devils! 💙
