Senior Elementary Education major Kendall Lewis played her heart out today as goalkeeper for the Panthers soccer match. Kendall is an excellent student, teacher candidate, and teammate. Way to go, Kendall! Dr. Pheil enjoyed shouting for Kendall throughout the match.

Was it very hot? Yes, yes it was!

We are so thankful for our partnership with the Troup County School System! This past week, we met with Troup County School System Human Resources Coordinator Dr. Cassidy Arrington and Hogansville Elementary School Principal Dr. Hanna Beall. During our meeting, we shared data, outcomes, and discussed plans for future opportunities.

Our junior Elementary Education majors started the year strong! They are learning to break down teaching standards and create student friendly learning targets and SMART goals. Professor Perry accompanied the juniors to the LaGrange Memorial Library - Georgia where they took a tour. Each junior now has a library card! The local library is an excellent resource to our teacher candidates. Thank you, Kelly Ansley!

Get ready!

HEADS UP! 🌖🔴 This week a LUNAR ECLIPSE will be visible across the United States Thursday evening into early Friday morning (Aug 27/28)! 96% of the Moon’s visible disk will slip into Earth’s shadow. So close to totality that most of it will have a red tint while only a thin bright sliver remains.

Peak Viewing Times
Eastern: 12:13 AM (Friday)
Central: 11:13 PM (Thursday)
Mountain: 10:13 PM (Thursday)
Pacific: 9:13 PM (Thursday)

Only wild card of course will be your local weather, hope for the best! This should be one of the best lunar eclipses visible from the Unites States until the next total lunar eclipse in December 2028. Enjoy and get those cameras ready!

Welcome to the Harris County School District family! 💛🖤

Our new teachers recently gathered for New Teacher Orientation, where they received valuable resources, information, and support to help them begin the 2026–2027 school year with confidence.

As they prepare to inspire students, build meaningful relationships, and make a lasting impact, we wish each of them a year filled with success. Thank you for choosing HCSD, where together we are changing lives and building futures.

We are proud of these four doctoral scholars from Troup County School System. We remain thankful for the continued partnership with our local teachers and administrators.

Four Troup County School System employees recently made history as members of the inaugural doctoral cohort at LaGrange College, each earning a Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. This milestone reflects a shared commitment to educational leadership, innovation, and excellence within TCSS.
