I came from a very small private school and wasn't sure what to expect going into my sophomore year. The teachers and students were very welcoming and made my transition easy.

My experience at Thomas County Central High School had some ups and downs. The best part of the school is when you have friends you can laugh with. The teachers are so nice and fun to have around, and they know how to teach. The school may not have the best food in the world but they make sure you are fed. The down that we had was when they wouldn't allow us to wear pajama pants but they lighted up in the later year and allowed it. Needless to say, Thomas County is a great school to learn and laugh.

I have seen many oppinions expressed on this site. Many good, many bad. I am here to express my oppinion, and hope you will accept it as credible, for I am a student currently attending TCCHS. This school is a home away from home. This is typically hard to find in a public school. I know for a fact...
