What a fun experience at Sipsey Valley High School!
This week, SVHS welcomed the amazing Air Elite performers. Air Elite features professional entertainers who perform for the Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets.
These performers brought their fun and energy to SVHS and encouraged students to "Slam Dunk the ACT"!
Each year, we are proud to recognize a teacher from all 36 of our schools in our TCSS Educator Recognition Awards!
Each school chooses a member of their faculty to receive the honor. These honorees represent the hundreds of outstanding educators who work with our students every day.
Watch the video to hear from some of this year's honorees on their passion for teaching.
To the honorees - Thank you for the investment you make in our students and community every day.

What a sweet story in The Northport Gazette about Collins-Riverside Intermediate School!
"Two weeks ago, students and teachers found handwritten notes around the school hallways that encouraged and complimented them. (Principal) Oden had written a thoughtful note for every student, faculty and staff member and substitute teacher.
Students then returned the kind gesture to their principal by leaving notes on Oden’s office door."
"(Fifth grade student Remie) said Riverside is 'the best school ever' since Mr. Oden knows all the students’ first and last names."
