Learn More About TCS

The vision for the Tuscaloosa City Schools is to be a premier, innovative school system where each and every student graduates and is fully prepared for life and career success. 

From Our Community

Andrea Markham, Coordinator of Post-Secondary Engagement, Central Support Team

"What I love most about watching students learn and grow is seeing them connect today's actions to tomorrow's opportunities and realizing they're ready for what's next.  I get to witness students move from asking, "Can I really do this?" to looking back and saying, "I did that."  Watching them step into college-level coursework, discover career paths, and gain confidence in themselves is what makes this work so meaningful."

Blair Hoyt, Teacher, Verner Elementary School

"The most rewarding part of my day as a teacher is helping a student work through something they’ve been struggling with—and then suddenly, I see the light in their eyes as understanding clicks into place. Those lightbulb moments bring me immense joy!"
