At the recent State FBLA Leadership Conference, Toombs County High School Teacher, Ms. Jessica Jones, was recognized for her outstanding contributions to Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), receiving the prestigious Region 2 FBLA Adviser of the Year Terry Smith Award. In just two years as an FBLA Adviser, Ms. Jones has already made an impact, leading her students to remarkable achievements on both the state and national levels.
Under Ms. Jones' guidance, the Toombs County FBLA chapter has seen tremendous growth and success. Two of her students have advanced to the national FBLA competition, a testament to her dedication and commitment to student excellence. Last year, the chapter was recognized as a Silver Champion Chapter, and this year, they are on track to achieve Gold Champion Chapter status.
Before joining the faculty at Toombs County High School, Ms. Jones taught 4th grade reading at Lyons Upper Elementary School. Though her teaching focus has shifted to business education, her passion for helping students discover their interests remains unchanged. "What I love most about my job is helping students find their passion," Ms. Jones shared. "Learning about business is an integral part of students' lives, and seeing them succeed is incredibly rewarding."
Ms. Jones' recognition as Region 2 FBLA Adviser of the Year emphasizes her commitment to shaping the future of young business leaders.
Toombs County High School Junior Alex Patrick has secured his place on the national stage after an outstanding performance at the FBLA State Leadership Conference. Competing in the Agribusiness category, Patrick placed 3rd, earning a coveted spot at the National FBLA Conference, set to take place in Anaheim, California, this June.
Patrick’s achievement is a testament to his dedication and leadership within FBLA. Currently serving as the chapter vice president, he has played a crucial role in the success and growth of Toombs County’s FBLA program. His commitment to the organization has been recognized with his election as a Region 2 officer, a prestigious role that allows him to contribute to FBLA’s mission on a broader scale.
"Competing at the state level was an incredible experience, and I’m honored to be advancing to nationals," said Patrick. "I’m grateful for the support of my adviser and fellow members, and I’m excited to represent Toombs County at the national level."
The National FBLA Conference will bring together top business students from across the country, providing them with opportunities to compete, network, and gain valuable career insights. Patrick’s journey to this stage highlights both his individual excellence and the strength of Toombs County High School’s FBLA program.
Patrick continues to make his school and community proud with his impressive accomplishments and leadership roles. As he prepares for the national competition, he carries with him the support of his peers and the hope of bringing home another victory for Toombs County.
LPS and TCES will hold PreK Pre-Enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year on Wednesday, March 19 from 8:30am-2:00pm.
Kinsley Jeter, a 5th grader at Lyons Upper Elementary, participated in the Georgia Music Educators Association’s Statewide Elementary Honor Chorus. Approximately 300 of the best elementary singers in Georgia gathered at the Classic Center in Athens to rehearse and perform challenging and beautiful choral arrangements. At the finale of the concert the students performed a choral arrangement of Bill Withers’ song, Lovely Day. The finale included a solo part which Jeter auditioned for and received. The entire choir accompanied Jeter as she performed beautifully for a packed out Classic Center theater audience of about 2100 people. To simply be chosen to attend the Statewide Elementary Honor Chorus is a tremendous honor, but to receive the one solo for the evening truly distinguishes her in a class by herself. Jeter represented Toombs County and Toombs County Schools well as she sang beautifully on the stage.
Toombs County High School Principal Marissa Morris has been named the Georgia TSA Administrator of the Year, a prestigious honor recognizing her outstanding contributions to STEM education and her unwavering support for Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs.

“Mrs. Morris goes above and beyond to ensure the success of every student, creating a culture of support, motivation, and academic excellence,” Mr. Bush stated in his nomination.
The Georgia TSA State Leadership Conference recognized Mrs. Morris during the First General Session on March 13 at the Akins Arena in Athens, Georgia.
