TCHS Celebrates Historic Graduation Rate:
Toombs County High School is celebrating a historic achievement as the Class of 2026 posted a 96.4% four-year cohort graduation rate, the highest in school history.
“Achieving a 96.4% four-year cohort graduation rate, the highest in Toombs County High School history, is an accomplishment our entire Bulldog family can celebrate,” TCHS Principal Marissa Morris said. “It reflects students who persevered, families and a community who supported them, and educators across our school system who helped build the foundation for their success.”
Morris emphasized that the achievement reflects the collective work of educators throughout Toombs County Schools, along with the commitment of the TCHS faculty and staff to know their students, support their individual needs, maintain high expectations, and help each student reach graduation.
“Our TCHS faculty and staff carried that work forward by knowing our students, supporting their needs, holding them to high expectations, and doing whatever it takes to help them reach graduation,” Morris said. “For seven consecutive years, TCHS has maintained a graduation rate above 93%, and I could not be prouder of the Class of 2026. They have truly created their legacy.”

Toombs County Board of Education Approves Reduced Millage Rate of 13.5 Mills:
The Toombs County Board of Education has voted to lower the district’s millage rate from 13.99 to 13.5 mills for the 2026 tax year. Set below the calculated rollback rate of 13.67 mills, this reduction brings property tax savings to local homeowners and property owners.
The adjustment reflects the Board’s continued effort to balance fiscal responsibility with the needs of the district and its students.
“Our annual budget is a balancing act between providing the innovative educational opportunities that prepare our students for the future and keeping the financial impact on taxpayers as low as possible. At this time, the Board saw a clear opportunity to offer taxpayers some welcome relief, and we are glad to deliver that today.” ~ Superintendent Waller
The district will continue to evaluate its financial position each year with a focus on maintaining long-term stability and protecting the programs and services that directly support students.
We appreciate our Board of Education members for their thoughtful leadership and continued commitment to our students, schools, and community.
