🎶 So proud of our students who represented the band program at the MidFest Honor Band at the University of Georgia!
These students were selected through an audition process to participate in MidFest, one of the premier honor band experiences in the Southeast. Being chosen reflects their musicianship, preparation, and commitment.
They had the opportunity to perform in Hodgson Hall at the University of Georgia Performing Arts Center, a professional-level venue that hosts world-class performances. It was an incredible experience and an important milestone in their musical journey.
Throughout the festival, students worked with master conductors, were challenged at a high level, and represented our school with pride and professionalism. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and the way they rose to the occasion. 🎵👏

Students in Mrs. Dowell, Mrs. Turoski, and Mrs. Cloud's class had a very special visitor from way up north today! Yes, Santa Claus himself visited and brought gifts for the students who were enjoying breakfast with their families! Mrs. Gordy was also in attendance filling in for Mrs. Cloud, who has a little reindeer fever today and is under the weather. A wonderful morning was had by all!

Toombs County Family,
We are headed BACK TO THE BENZ!
On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, our Toombs County Bulldogs will compete for the GHSA Class A Division 1 State Championship for the 2nd consecutive year. We are extremely proud of our football team for earning this opportunity, and equally proud of our band and cheerleaders who will join them and create lasting memories at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Because more than 150 students and staff must travel to Atlanta and be loaded on buses at designated times for the 2:00 p.m. game, we must adjust our school operations for that day.
The Toombs County School System will be closed on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Regular operations will resume on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause, and we appreciate your flexibility and support. We invite the entire Toombs County community to join us in Atlanta as we cheer on our Bulldogs in their pursuit of a State Championship. Please join me in wishing our football team, band, cheerleaders, and coaches the very best as they represent Toombs County with excellence.
Go Dogs!
Barry Waller, Superintendent
