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.

The Toombs County High School fishing team of AJ Bagby, 11th grader, and Lane Bagby, 8th grader, weighed in 12.11 pounds to secure an 8th place finish out of 130 high school fishing teams in the Georgia Bass Nation fishing tournament on Lake West Point this past Saturday, November 1st, 2025.
The Lake Dawgs faced tough weather conditions as the first cold front of the year cooled the lake water almost 11 degrees just days before the tournament. The majority of the fish pushed off the bank seeking warmer and more stable water out deep. The lake was also in its annual fall turnover phase. Turnover depletes the oxygen in the water and forces the bait fish and bass to seek cleaner water.
Due to the cold front, the Lake Dawgs decided to target offshore deep water bass as they are not as affected by temperature changes. “The bass that live in deeper water are less sensitive to a cold front. The bass that typically live in shallower water usually push off the banks when the water cools so quickly. We saw the weather forecast calling for 38 degree nights and elected to target fish in the deep timber. The majority of the high school teams fishing in shallow water really struggled to catch any fish. We stayed out in 30-50 feet of water and caught 75 to 80 fish in the tournament,”said AJ Bagby.
“Our key baits were the Homegrown Jigs Boujee Shad, Deps Sakamata Shad and the Burtek Tackle Primus Shad. We fished these minnow style baits on varying sizes of jigheads depending on the depth of the baitfish and time of day. We targeted timber patches that the bass were using to ambush and feed on baitfish. We caught fish all day throughout the tournament and had an absolute blast,” said Lane Bagby.
The Lake Dawgs want to give a special shoutout to some of our key sponsors. A special thanks goes out to Gordy Tire and Brake, Altamaha Bank & Trust, Lassiter Tractor, McLendon Enterprises, Altamaha EMC and McLain Farms for their support!
The Lake Dawgs next tournament is at Clarks Hill Lake on December 13th. Go Dawgs!

🍕 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!
