News From the Principal

Congratulations to our Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) for their great job representing our school and our state at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida. Three of our students place among the top in the nation. Ali Bleckley placed 2nd in the nation in Word Processing II, Ryan Tallent placed 6th in the nation in Spreadsheet, and Katie McConnell placed 7th in the nation in Client Service.

We welcome our new school superintendent, Melissa Williams to Towns County. We look forward to working together with Mrs. Williams as we seek to continually make our school a better place for our students.

While it is hard to believe, we will be back in school a month from now. I hope that all of you are having a restful summer. It has been a busy summer here. We think you will be pleased with the remodeling we have done to the high school science labs.

The beginning of school is always an exciting time. We look forward to the new school year and great things happening at Towns County High School. We welcome approximately 100 students who will be new to our high school. Most of these are students entering the 9th grade from Towns County Middle School. These rising 9th graders will be the class of 2015. We will be having orientation for parents of rising 9th grade students on Thursday, July 28, at 7PM in the auditorium.

Open House will be Wednesday, August 3, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Students will be able to pick up their 2011 – 2012 schedules at Open House. We look forward to seeing you there.

The first day of school will be Thursday, August 4. For those parents who drop off students in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon, our procedures will be the same as last year. We ask that those dropping off or picking up students not leave their cars unattended on the curb in front of the high school. If you have to come into the building, please park in a parking spot.

We truly want to know what you think about our school. We want your input into our school and programs. We are looking for representatives for our local school council for this year. The school council meets four times over the course of the school year. We would like at least one parent representing each grade 9 – 12 at our high school. If you are interested, please let me know.

If I may be of assistance to you please do not hesitate to call on me. You can reach me by phone at (706) 896-4131 ext 1017 or by e-mail at rperren@towns.k12.ga.us
