We are proud to recognize Mrs. Fleming as our September Employee of the Month! Her dedication, positivity, and commitment to both students and staff make her a true asset to our school community.

Mrs. Fleming continually goes above and beyond—not only in the classroom, but also throughout the entire school. She plays a key role in boosting school morale, and we all appreciate her starting Secret Pals, ensuring that everyone feels appreciated and valued.

In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Mrs. Fleming volunteers her time wherever help is needed. Her passion shines brightly in her work with FFA, where she dedicates countless hours to supporting students, organizing events, and encouraging success both inside and outside the classroom.

Her positivity, dedication, and care for others make her a shining example of what it means to be part of our school family. Congratulations, Mrs. Fleming —thank you for all you do to make our school such a special place!

We are thrilled to recognize Ms. Hill as our October Employee of the Month! Her dedication and organization make a tremendous impact on our school each day.

Ms. Hill truly stepped up during a time of big change, ensuring that everything continued to run smoothly and efficiently. She takes great care in making sure items are ordered promptly, payments and paperwork for “all things Webster County”  are handled accurately, and all the behind-the-scenes details are taken care of.

Ms. Hill also plays a vital role in keeping our technology running and our classrooms equipped for success. And when she’s not keeping things organized, she’s encouraging school spirit and teamwork both on and off the sidelines as the cheerleading coach.

Ms. Hill is an invaluable member of our school family. We are so grateful for all she does—congratulations, Ms. Hill!

During the spooky month of October, Introduction to Business and Technology students at Webster County High School dove into several thought-provoking topics. One of the highlights was exploring the essential components that make up a computer. From something as simple as a mouse to the more complex inner workings of a motherboard, we gained a better understanding of the parts that power the devices we use every day to support our learning.

We also took on a lively debate: Which phone brand reigns supreme—Samsung, Apple, or Google? Through research we uncovered strong arguments for each. I quickly realized that our teacher had some clear preferences—but to be fair, they were backed by solid reasoning. His insights not only challenged our opinions but helped us reflect on our own biases as well.

On top of that, in business class, we focused on building better study habits. Our teacher gave us various techniques that are going to come in handy long after this class is over. Whether we’re heading to college or just aiming to be more organized now, we’re definitely better prepared.

Webster County Schools FBLA Launches Baby Drive to Support Local Families 

The Webster County Schools FBLA chapter is taking action in a new community service project. We will be hosting a baby drive. We believe that we can take part in giving every baby their needs. The drive is currently unfolding and will run through November 19, 2025, and all the donations will go to the Family Connections Center of Preston, Georgia.  

This initiative highlights FBLA’s dedication to leading through service. Understanding that many families face challenges in affording essential baby items, the chapter organized the Baby Drive to help provide infants with the clean and necessary supplies they need during their earliest and most vulnerable months.

The FBLA chapter welcomes the support of the community and encourages donations of new baby essentials. High-need items include:

• Diapers
• Baby bottles
• Wipes
• Newborn clothing (sizes newborn to 3 months)
• Pacifiers

Other new baby items are also appreciated. Please note that perishable goods cannot be accepted.

Donations can be dropped off at:
 Webster County Schools

"Our goal is to support as many families as we can while raising awareness of the needs within our own community," said the FBLA Chapter Reporter. "Even the smallest items can make a big difference for a new parent."

Through this project, FBLA members are not only demonstrating their leadership and organizational skills, but also learning the value of empathy, civic duty, and collective action.

For more information, or to find out how you can help, reach out to the FBLA chapter at Webster County Schools — and don’t forget to use #BabyDrive on social media to help spread the word!

Gifted Students Team Up to Explore the Federal Reserve

Webster County Schools’ 4th and 5th grade gifted students are learning all about money and the economy as they research the Federal Reserve Bank, located in Atlanta, Georgia.  Mrs. Pamela Alridge’s students are discovering how the Federal Reserve manages the nation’s money and helps keep the economy stable.

In November, the middle grades and high school gifted students will join the Webster County High School to the Atlanta Federal Reserve. During the visit, they’ll take a guided tour, explore interactive exhibits, and see how the country’s financial system works up close.

Mrs. Alridge encourages her students to ask questions and work together across grade levels.  By combining their research, the group is learning about topics like the history of the Federal Reserve, how interest rates affect people’s lives, and why smart money choices matter.

4th Graders at Webster County Elementary created food chains in Mrs. Lana Bennett’s science class. Students conducted research to create the food chains and then create larger food webs for specific ecosystems.

Mrs. Alridge’s 5th grade math class at Webster County Schools recently wrapped up their first unit of the school year, diving deep into the concept of volume through engaging, hands-on learning. Students explored the volume of polygons and rectangular prisms using a variety of methods. From building 3D models with cubes to solving equations, the students used creative thinking and problem-solving skills to understand how volume works in everyday shapes.  

Students in Mrs. Lana Bennett’s social studies class at Webster Co. Schools took advantage of the brand new Audio Enhancement Tools during a read aloud.  Students were able to use a classroom microphone to enhance their volume while reading aloud to their peers. 

Mrs. Fleming’s Horticulture and Floriculture students recently explored the science behind plant reproduction by dissecting flowers. Through this hands-on activity, students identified and studied the reproductive organs of flowering plants, gaining a deeper understanding of how pollination and fertilization occur in nature. The lesson combined science with agriculture, helping students connect classroom knowledge to real-world plant growth and production.

Please congratulate the following 9th grade students who designed and created license plates using words they found using the Periodic table. Hasinat Aksir came in 3 rd place with her design spelling out COWS, Eryn Ingram came in 2nd, with her design spelling out her name ERYN K and first place goes to Layton Whittaker with his design spelling out Ga BOY. Thank you all Mrs. Gorton is very proud of you all.

Webster County FFA Kick Off 2025-2026 School Year

We are absolutely thrilled and deeply grateful for the opening of our school’s brand-new science lab. This state-of-the-art classroom is more than just a space—it’s a gateway to curiosity, discovery, and hands-on learning that will inspire our students for years to come. My studentsand I are incredibly thankful for this investment in their education and future. The excitement on their faces as they explore the equipment, conduct experiments, and collaborate in a real lab setting has been truly heartwarming. This lab represents a significant step forward in our commitment to STEM education, and we are honored to be part of a school community that values innovation, learning, and opportunity.
