We had a great time hosting a Toombs County Schools booth at the SECCA Job Fair today, connecting with local high school students and sharing the many career opportunities available right here in our district. We are proud to showcase how the Toombs County School System invests in students and future professionals.
It’s always exciting to meet students who are exploring their next steps. We hope to see many of them back with us in the future!
Good attendance builds strong habits and opens doors for future success. From preschool to high school and beyond, showing up every day matters.
Did you know? Missing just 2 days a month can put a student off track. Every day counts!
Let’s work together to make attendance a priority and help our students shine bright this year! 🌟 #EveryDayCounts #AttendTodayAchieveTomorrow
Due to the weather forecast for this Saturday, the Toombs County Bulldog Baseball Camp scheduled for January 31, 2026 has been canceled.

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!
