There has been some confusion regarding the creation of senior ads due to Varsity’s limit on the number of photos allowed. Originally, parents were asked to create and submit the ad themselves; however, because of the photo cap, we are now offering for the yearbook staff to create the ad for you.
📸 If you would like the yearbook staff to create your senior ad:
• You must send all photos and the message you want included at the same time
• The ad will be created, and a proof will be sent to you for approval
🔁 If you have already created an ad but would like a new one made (to include additional photos), please send all photos and the message together.
📧 Send all photos and messages to:
Mrs. Lacy Cargle
lcargle@tiftschools.com
📅 Deadline: All photos and messages must be submitted by March 1 to allow sufficient time for ad creation.
💰 Pricing:
• Full Page — $300
• Half Page — $150
• Quarter Page — $75
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
Students toured our State Capitol and heard from local legislators and community partners who truly believe in their vision. They also experienced an exclusive tour of the Atlanta Mart—complete with a visit to the show floor!
Today marked a monumental moment in these students’ FLEX journey, showing them just how much support stands behind their small business dreams. Tift County has so much to be proud of!
Next up: Local competition to determine our finalists! 🚀

What Are High School Pathways?
High school pathways are structured programs of study that help students explore their interests and prepare for future careers or college opportunities. Each pathway connects classroom learning with real-world skills, giving students a chance to focus on specific areas-such as health sciences, engineering, business, arts, or technology-while still completing their core academic requirements.
By choosing a pathway, students can:
Explore potential careers and discover what they're passionate about.
Gain hands-on experience through projects, internships, or specialized courses.
Earn valuable credentials or college credits before graduation.
Build a strong foundation for success after high school, whether in college, technical training, or the workforce.
Pathways don't "lock" students into one career-they're designed to help students learn, explore, and make informed choices about their futures.
