Principal's Message

Brock Hawkins will step into the principal role for the next school year.
 
I have13 years of experience in the district which includes teaching and coaching at TMMS prior to moving into administration. My background includes special education, physical education, and school leadership. I am very thankful to be chosen to be the next principal at Thomson-McDuffie Middle School. I’m honored to have the privilege to lead the next generation at the school. It’s also an honor to be the principal of a school I once attended. I’m thankful for everyone that helped get me to this place and prepared me for this.
 
I’m looking forward to working with everyone, and I’m looking forward to pushing our kids in this county to
continue to achieve and be prepared for high school.
 
2026-2027 will be a GREAT School Year!

K-8 Distraction-Free Education Act, Effective 2026-2027

Flyer outlines distraction-free learning law.
In 2025, in response to growing concerns about how personal device usage affects students’ academic success, attention, and social-emotional development, the Georgia General Assembly passed the “Distraction-Free Education Act” (O.C.G.A. § 20-2-324.8). Under this law, as of July 1, 2026, bell-to-bell access to personal electronic devices by students in grades K-8 is prohibited. The prohibition of access to these devices will extend to high school students in the 2027-2028 school year.
