Sarah Buzzell, Tupelo High School Graduate
"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!

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.

Some of the most important spelling bee teachers to me were Mrs. Underwood, Mrs. Simmons, and especially Mrs. Freitag. They all mean a lot to me since they all helped me and encouraged me along the way. I'm glad I can represent TPSD and Lee County. I hope to win for them both in the State spelling bee.

Lawhon Principal and 2nd grader — Wesley & Lilah Kate McCullough
The city of Tupelo and TPSD will always hold a special place in my heart. It's where I learned to read and write, learned to make friends, how to persevere through academics and athletics, and was allowed the opportunity to have fun along the way. It is a blessing to know my daughters will get that same experience in the years to come. Go Wave!
