THS Principal Drew Glass

Seniors rack up awards

By Leigh Anne Butler

Tallassee High School’s Senior Awards Night was held Monday evening at First Baptist Church.  The ceremony celebrated and honored senior students who have earned awards and scholarships. 

Over 50 local and college scholarships were presented to seniors.  18 college and universities were represented at the awards ceremony to present scholarships.  Department/club awards, military service enlistment and advanced diploma and honor students were also recognized.

“Last night was a wonderful recognition of our seniors,” Tallassee High School principal, Drew Glass explained.  “For a first year principal to have this senior class, it was a great class to recognize.  They broke me in really well as a principal.  I’m so excited to see what they go out and do for Tallassee and the recognition they bring Tallassee as they move on in their careers.”

During the ceremony, Tallassee High School assistant principal, Brooke Barron presented Vicki Oliver Baker with the first edition of the 2021-22 yearbook, Tiger Tracks.  The students of THS dedicated the yearbook to Mrs. Vicki for her 60 years of service to the Pride of Tallassee marching band, specifically the majorettes.
