This month's video was recorded at the Walton County School District Office Tivoli Complex. The Tivoli Complex was the former home of the Tivoli High School Tigers! The school was an Elementary/Junior high school from 1908 until 1935, and in 1935 became the first black high school in Walton County. It closed in 1969 with a long tradition of successful graduates, and a 100% graduation rate!

In this video, Superintendent Hughes wishes students well during the May testing season, shares some upcoming important reminders, and encourages students to be diligent in their studies until the end of the school year!
