After substitute teaching at Reeltown High School for about six years, Tracey Rush recently joined full time as an instructional aide within the special education program. 

This past week Reeltown Elementary School kindergarten classes got to have a real look at what it means to be a veterinarian and work with livestock. 

A new staff member is now at Reeltown and he has four paws and a wagging tail. Epic, the labradoodle, is Reeltown school’s new facility dog.

With graduation weeks away, Reeltown High School recognized seniors for their achievements and academic excellence.

After years of having just two then four classrooms allotted for the program, Holtville Child Development Center now has a facility all to itself.

Starting April 24 and 25, parents or guardians can enroll their children between 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the RES’ front office. Principal Lisa Hornsby said this also will provide time for families to meet school staff as well as fill out the necessary paperwork.

Teachers often receive recognition, but this month school principals in Tallapoosa County and across the nation will be in the spotlight. 

Employee raises, million-dollar construction projects, and much more defines Tallapoosa County Schools’ budget for the coming year.
