Terrell Proud, Tiger Strong is much more than just a motto. It is a feeling that lives inside of each and every person in this community.  By truly being Terrell Proud and Tiger Strong, the hopes, dreams and aspirations of our young people and community will come true.

 

Terrell Proud are the teachers, who like Cynthia Candler, Mike Melugin, Lela Hogan, and many more, have worked as educators for so many years that now their own students are educators in our schools. One former student commented on Facebook saying, "Ms. Candler changed my life. I wouldn't be the success I am without her in my life. I love that she invests in individuals and their true identity not just a classroom. She is such an important person in this world!" It's teachers, like her, who touch the lives of our students every single day.

 

Tiger Strong are the fans who show up every Friday night at Memorial Stadium to cheer on our football team, our band, our Tigerettes, and all the other students who work tirelessly to prepare for football season. The fans like Mr. Neroes, who for years has stood on the sideline with a smile across his face, cheering on the Tigers through wins and losses. It's the young fans who line the rails at Memorial Stadium with pom-poms and tiny megaphones in hand, or stand on the bleachers to see over the people in front of them. And who sometimes, by the fourth quarter, are so worn out they rest their heads in the lap of their mom or dad because it's after their bedtime, and they have cheered so hard.
