This week in Ms. Thigpen and Ms. Melissa’s class, we explored the exciting world of Wildlife and Camping! 🦌🌲 Students learned about animals, nature, and what it’s like to spend time outdoors.
To wrap up the week, we had a special camping day at school! ⛺ Our class enjoyed delicious s’mores and had so much fun using headlamps to read books under the table, just like a cozy campsite at night. 🔦📚
It was a wonderful way to bring our lessons to life, and the students had a blast learning, exploring, and using their imaginations!

Transformational work is happening in Mrs. Myers’s Tiger Pride class! 🐯🤖
With just 20 minutes a day, students are immersing themselves in robotics and coding — building the critical thinking, problem-solving, and computational skills that prepare them for the future. The growth in such a short time has been nothing short of impressive.
The learning continues beyond the school day. Students in this program are offered the opportunity to extend their experience through after-school robotics and coding sessions in collaboration with Mrs. Myers and Georgia Tech professors.
Through Mrs. Myers’s partnership with Georgia Tech’s Rural Computer Science Initiative (RCSI), led by CEISMC and STEM@GTRI, middle school students in rural Georgia are receiving high-quality computer science, AI, and robotics education. Combined with Mercer University’s Developing Computer Science Master Teachers for Georgia Rural Schools program, this work is intentionally expanding access, opportunity, and exposure to advanced real-world education and career pathways.
Students are also stepping into the world of competitive robotics through hands-on VEX Robotics training — applying their skills in real, high-level learning environments.
This is dedication. This is equity in action. This is Tiger Pride.

🚜 Breaking Ground: Ag Mech 2 is Heading to the Field! 🌱
Spring is just around the corner, and our Ag Mechanics 2 students are making sure The DEN is ready! This week, students moved from the classroom to the tractor seat to begin prepping the soil for our springtime grass planting.
This hands-on lesson focused on the mastery of the three-point harrow. Operating a tractor while pulling an implement requires a high level of coordination and a "safety-first" mindset. Our Tigers aren't just driving; they are learning the technical side of agriculture, including:
Safe Operating Procedures: Mastering the "rules of the road" for agricultural machinery.
Hitch Mastery: Identifying tractor parts and the complex mechanics of attaching and removing implements.
Precision Prep: Using the harrow to break ground effectively for optimal planting conditions.
We are proud to see our students applying their classroom knowledge to real-world tasks! 🐯🖤💛

Huge congratulations to our CMS band for an outstanding performance! Bringing home 3 Excellent scores and 1 Superior is a massive win. 🏆
Ms. Grimes, your hard work and leadership truly paid off. Bravo to everyone involved!


🪚 Built to Last: Masterpieces from Ag Mechanics 2! 🔨
There is something special about creating a project with your own two hands that can be cherished for a lifetime. Mr. Turner’s Ag Mechanics 2 students put the finishing touches on their woodworking projects, and the results are stunning!
This wasn't just about the final product; it was about the rigorous process of becoming a craftsman. Our students gained vital hands-on experience in:
Precision Cutting: Mastering the proper operation of basic power woodworking tools.
Shop Mastery: Safely and effectively using stationary woodworking equipment.
Preservation: Learning the essential techniques for treating and preserving wood to ensure these pieces withstand the test of time.
From raw lumber to polished finishes, these Tigers have shown incredible dedication to their craft. We are so proud of the skill and safety they demonstrated in the shop! 🐯🖤💛

🐯 One Big "Thank You" from The DEN! 🖤💛
It takes a village to raise a Tiger, and our village showed up in a big way for our 2nd Annual C-Day!

Whether you were a guest speaker sharing your life's work, a local business opening your doors to our students, or a student who stepped up to lead a pathway station, THANK YOU. You have invested in the future of our community by investing in our students.

🤝 Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! ✨
One of the highlights of C-Day was seeing our students collaborate during the Goosechase Scavenger Hunt. This wasn't your average "find the item" hunt—students had to work together to solve riddles, record videos of soft skills in action, and check in at various career stations.
The leaderboard was changing by the second, but these teams stayed focused and racked up the most points to take home the prizes!
Congratulations to our winners:
9th Grade - Henry Haire, Ben Zamora, Ariyanna Mitchell, Rebecca Rico-Garcia
10th Grade- Brandon Munoz-Choc, Jonathan Figueroa Sanchez, William Mendez Hernandez, Curtis Furman, Jeremiah Brewton
11th Grade- Cristofer Vazquez-Herrera, Antonio Davalos, Samantha Estrada Silva, Jasmin Hernandez-Rodriguez
12th Grade- Dayton Hesters, Preston Waters, and Matthew Cribb
Way to go, Tigers! You proved that when you work as a team, you can conquer any mission. 🐯💪📱
