About Thomasville City Schools

Established in 1900, Thomasville City Schools was chartered as an Independent Public School System by the City of Thomasville, Georgia. According to Article 11 of the City Charter, the district is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and funding a public school system through local taxation and other sources. The Board of Education, elected as outlined in the City Charter, has full authority over budgeting and tax levies.

The school district serves students within Thomasville city limits, while out-of-district Georgia residents may be admitted based on available space.
