Dear Thomasville City Schools Students, Staff, Parents, and Community Members:

I am excited to begin what I anticipate will be an exciting and productive school year. I believe every child can, and will, attain the education and skills necessary to achieve their dreams of a bright future. Our focus in Thomasville City remains constant: Expectations + Effort = Excellence. We believe all children can learn. We care about each student, and we will provide our best efforts to each of them. We ask the same from each of our students and their parents. Our schools will be safe places where students are engaged and challenged to meet the standards necessary for college or a career, and where student participation in extracurricular activities is encouraged. Our focus will always be the students we serve. They are the reason we do what we do, and I will never lose sight of that. Our students deserve nothing less than the very best we can give them.

I am honored to serve as your superintendent, and I am very grateful for your support. I have had many different leadership roles during my career. Those experiences have prepared me to lead our school district to meet the high expectations the community demands and our students deserve. I appreciate the work of all our educators and support staff, and value the strength of a unified school board and community. We are fortunate to have a school board who makes decisions based on the success and well-being of our students and community. Their leadership continues to demonstrate character and focus. I am humbled and grateful to the board members for placing their faith in me, and I intend to work in partnership with them in guiding the Thomasville City School district forward.

The contribution of parents, students, staff and community members are essential to the success of our district. Everything we do is geared for the future success of our children. As your superintendent, I welcome your ideas and suggestions.

Garth Moss

Superintendent
