Carson Jones, TMS Student

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.

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!

“TPSD is where I found my calling and purpose in life. It is a place where I have had the privilege of having so many meaningful relationships and experiences that have shaped who I am today. Also a place that has loved and nurtured my own two children. I cannot imagine where I would be today without the students and staff of TPSD and for that I am forever grateful.”

"I am pawsitive that TPSD is the most pawsome school! The teachers and students are rebarkable. I am barking it from the wooftops, TPSD is the best!"

“In my 14 years at TPSD, it’s been so much more than just a school. It is the place I made my first friends, found new passions for athletics and academics, and connected with the most amazing people and mentors. TPSD has been a pillar that has helped shape me into the person I am today and the person I will be in the future!”
