Tift County Schools is proud to announce a new collaboration with ESE Mental Health to offer referrals to access to high-quality mental health services for our middle school and high school students.
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.

🌟 Positive Behavior Impact Student of the Month 🌟
Please join us in celebrating Brady Sellers, our Tift County High School Positive Behavior Impact Student of the Month! 🎉
Brady is an exceptional young man whose dedication, leadership, and service truly embody what it means to Raise the Bar at TCHS. Throughout the year, he has actively participated in numerous school and community service projects through FBLA, including Brother Charlie’s, Hope for Kids, and preparing Teachers Halloween Treats. His willingness to serve others shines in everything he does.
Academically and professionally, Brady continues to excel. He is competing at Region in Business Presentation, has earned both his Microsoft Word and Excel Certifications, and is on track to complete the Business Technology Pathway next semester. His involvement extends beyond the classroom as well—he serves on Student Council and is competing in the Mr. TCHS DECA Event.
What truly sets Brady apart is his remarkable helpfulness and leadership in the classroom. He is always willing to help his classmates and even stepped up to “teach” the class when his teacher lost her voice—walking students through GMetrix Skills Review Training step-by-step using the Promethean Board. His initiative, patience, and confidence make him a role model among his peers.
Brady’s commitment to excellence, service, and positive behavior makes a meaningful impact on our school community. We are incredibly proud of him and grateful for the example he sets every day. 🙌💙
Thank you, Brady, for shining bright and representing what it truly means to be a Blue Devil!
To recognize his impact, Brady received special spirit items sponsored by Sumner, Beaumont, York, Kincaid Insurance Group — thank you for supporting our students!
