Eighth Street Middle School

ESMS Families, thank you for being part of our Registration Rally!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to our Registration Rally. It meant so much to see so many of our Eighth Street families there, and we absolutely loved meeting the students from our feeder elementary schools who will be joining us next year. We are already excited for you to be part of the ESMS family 💙

There was so much energy as families met teachers, learned about connections classes, and started planning for next year. We loved seeing students talk through their choices and get excited about what’s ahead.

If you have a minute, we would really appreciate your feedback. Scan the QR code or click on the link below to let us know what you loved, what went well, and how we can make it even better next time.

Tift County Schools is proud to collaborate with ESE Mental Health to offer referrals to access to high-quality mental health services for our middle school and high school students.
Through this partnership, students will have increased access to licensed mental health professionals who can provide counseling and support —right here in our school community. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to the well-being of every student and to creating safe, supportive environments where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We are grateful for this opportunity to work together in supporting the whole child.

For additional information, please contact your school principal or school counselor.

💙 National School Counselor Week 💙

Eighth Street Middle School is so thankful for our three amazing counselors. Mrs. Kozma, Mrs. Parker, and Mrs. Bassett support our students each day with care, compassion, and dedication. Their work goes far beyond the counseling office as they guide students through challenges, celebrate successes, and partner with teachers to support the whole child.

We are grateful for the positive impact they make on our Blue Devil family every single day. 💙

Tift County Middle School HOSA students recently had an incredible opportunity to attend CTSO Day at the Georgia State Capitol, where students got a first-hand look at the lawmaking process and saw our state government in action.
Students scheduled a visit with Representative Jaclyn Ford and even received a surprise “hello” from Governor Brian Kemp, making the day an unforgettable experience!
Experiences like this help connect classroom learning to real-world leadership and civic engagement. We’re proud of our future healthcare leaders for representing Tift County so well!
