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

Today, our schools will be conducting scheduled safety practice drills in partnership with local law enforcement and emergency responders. We want to reassure families that there is no threat to our students or staff. These drills are required by state law (HB 147). We perform these checks periodically to practice safety procedures and ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff. We appreciate the support of our families and community as we continue to make the safety and well-being of our students and staff a top priority.
A special event for expectant moms on Saturday, Sept. 27th.
No cost yoga class for moms! Contact Paige Williamson with questions: 912-245-2542.
