Senior Picture Information: Class of 2026
NOW is the time to start thinking about senior pictures, senior ads, and yearbooks. Remember, you have options for how you have your senior pictures taken but it is your responsibility to get it done! Don’t miss out, get your pictures taken! You have two options for senior pictures:
Option one, School Photographer: Pix Photography in Vidalia is our school photographer. If you would like to have your pictures taken with Pix in their studio you can call them and schedule an appointment this summer. Scheduling with the studio will allow you more time with the photographer and more background options. You will also have more time to get your pictures turned in. If you do not want to take pictures in the studio, Pix will take pictures AT SCHOOL on Thursday, October 2nd. However, your options and your time with the photographer may be limited as we will have many students having pictures made that day. Pix photography: 912-538-0170
Option two, Any Local Photographer: This is any photographer other than the school photographer. (Hart’s, Davis House, a friend, etc.) If you choose to have your senior pictures taken with a photographer other than our school photographer, you MUST have your pictures turned in by Friday, September 19th, 2025. It is your responsibility to make sure they are submitted on time to Mrs. Brodnax, so a formal picture and/or a casual picture can be used in the yearbook. Pix and the Davis house are the only two local photographers that take both formal and casual pictures. Please make sure that you make arrangements to have both types of pictures taken for the yearbook. These pictures should be turned in electronically. We cannot accept any pictures from local photographers after September 19th!
Senior ads will be due Friday, November 7th, 2025. More information about ads will be sent out when school starts back.
Important dates:
Senior pictures from outside photographers: Due Friday, September 19, 2025
Senior picture day at school: Thursday, October 2, 2025
Senior Ads for the yearbook: Due Friday, November 7, 2025.
Yearbooks will be on sale when school starts for $55. They can be purchased on-line, or at school through the end of January. www.jostensyearbooks.com

🍕 Pizza with the Principal! 🍕
Student Council hosted our very first Pizza with the Principal today, and it was a huge success! This event was created as a way for Student Council to serve as the bridge between the student body and administration.
At today’s meeting, four Student Council members presented student ideas and proposals to Mrs. Morris, including:
1️⃣ Club Day/Power Hour by Jean Peterson
2️⃣ A TCHS Clothes Closet by Sarah Ellis Walker
3️⃣ Student-Led Sports Marketing by Arianna Hill
4️⃣ Parents-to-Lunch for the Senior Class by Brockton Estrada
After presentations, Mrs. Morris opened the floor for student feedback and asked for student perspectives on certain topics.
👉 Students walked away with real-world skills like leadership, public speaking, teamwork, and problem-solving.
👉 Events like these give students a chance to have their voices heard, build stronger connections with administration, and work together toward positive change.
It was a great time eating, sharing ideas, and creating our legacy at TCHS—because everything’s better with pizza and student engagement! 🍕✨ Be on the lookout for some of these ideas coming to life!

On Saturday, September 27th, the Toombs County High School Fishing Team kicked off the 2025-2026 fishing season at Lake Clark’s Hill (Augusta, GA).
Hadden Outdoors hosted the High School MLF (Major League Fishing) style tournament on Lake Clark Hill.
AJ Bagby, a Junior at Toombs County High School, finished in 2nd place at the event. AJ caught 28 bass for a total weight of 42.81 pounds. Evan Beard, Senior at Greenbrier High School and reigning GA Bass Nation State Champion, won the event with 48.81 pounds.
The weather was less than ideal, with a downpour of rain and wind throughout the majority of the event. AJ Bagby caught his fish on a Zoom Winged Fluke, a Deps Sakamata Shad, and a Homegrown Jigs Boujee Shad. AJ was targeting bass that were migrating back into the creek arms, feeding on blueback herring and threadfin shad. The herring and shad migrate in the fall from their deep-water summer hideouts into the shallower creeks as they seek cooler water temperatures, better oxygenated water, and plankton to feed on. The bass follow the baitfish during this fall migration. The key is to find the baitfish and you will find the bass.
The Haddens Outdoors high school tournament is unique as the anglers all fish in specific zones of the lake and the fish are weighed live on the water by the tournament officials. The zones are randomly selected by the tournament director just before blast off. This prevents any practice fishing since the anglers do not know what zones of the lake they will be fishing until the morning of the tournament. Therefore, the anglers must make quick decisions once a zone is announced to locate and catch fish. The leaderboard is updated throughout the tournament so the anglers know exactly how many fish and the weight their competitors have caught. It is a stressful, but very fun way to fish a bass tournament.
The Toombs County Fishing Team will be fishing the GHSA and GA Bass Nation tournament trails this year. The Bulldogs will compete against over 500 Georgia high school fishing teams during these tournaments. The next tournament is scheduled for November 1st, 2025 at West Point Lake (Lagrange, GA).
AJ Bagby caught this 22-pound striped bass during the Clarks Hill tournament. Unfortunately, Striped bass (known as stripers) are not counted is the tournaments. Only largemouth bass and spotted bass are allowed to be weighed in during the high school tournaments.

Work-Based Learning students Michaela Jones and Rigo Mata participated in a community service project at the Lyons Upper Elementary School with The Bridge Project.
