📢 Congratulations to the members of the 2025–2026 Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council (SSAC).

The purpose of the SSAC is to provide students with opportunities to serve as representatives of their schools and as a collective voice for the Tift County Schools student body.

Through their participation, students will:
• Share ideas and perspectives
• Provide input on various aspects of the student academic experience
• Gain a deeper understanding of how our school system operates

We look forward to the valuable contributions these student leaders will make during the upcoming school year.
