Being a TPSD student gave me the opportunity to have a high quality education and top notch extra curricular opportunities. Our strong public schools was a major reason to move back home. My children, Henry, Jack and Gracie, will continue to attend a district committed to excellence with added focus on authentic career connections.

"It's a great honor to be a product of TPSD. I'm thankful  to be an educator that pours back in the district that molded me into the person I am today. It's a blessing to know my children will get to experience the same wonderful education and resources that I received. 

Tucker says, "he loves Tupelo because he has the best teachers and some cool friends!" Wave Forever!"

"Growing up in TPSD was one of the greatest blessings I've had. Starting as early as Thomas Street Elementary, I was surrounded by art and constantly encouraged to create! Every one of my art teachers created an environment that made me feel like my possibilities in life were endless.

I am so grateful to be recognized for doing what I love and for the opportunity to share my love of art with future generations.

From kindergarten through my 12 years as a special education teacher, TPSD has always felt like home. The environment is comfortable and welcoming, making everyone feel truly valued.  I cherish that my children are growing up in the same supportive atmosphere, attending the same schools that I did. We are the WAVE!

TPSD has helped me build many lasting friendships and connect with great people and teachers. I truly feel like I belong here. Go Wave!

Thomas Roper, THS Senior

TPSD has given me so many opportunities to learn and grow. The class selection at THS is superior in all departments whether it be athletics, academics or fine arts. Not only have I made lifelong friends and memories, the THS teachers and academic classes have prepared me for my college journey ahead. Once a wave- always a wave!

TPSD is the best. With show choir, I've been able to travel to other schools and there is no where like it! TPSD is just different. It's pushed and challenged me in a lot of ways to prepare me for college. I'm very grateful for my experiences in our district.
