Taylor County Middle

TCMS 8th grade students and families are invited to clean out their closet for a SHOE DRIVE! The Shoe Drive is organized by the GHS National Technical Honor Society (NTHS). Donations of gently worn, used and new shoes will be accepted.

GHS upperclassmen will be sharing CTE (Career and Technical Education) Course Scheduling information with the rising 9th grade, GHS Class of 2030! The Grafton High School CTE Concentrations include Agribusiness and Plant Systems, Building Maintenance, Business, Carpentry, Coding/Ai & Digital Imaging, Culinary/ProStart, Therapeutic Services, and Welding. The discussion will showcase each of the programs for students to explore their interests when creating the schedule for the 2026-2027 academic year.

8th grade students are welcome to bring a pair or two of shoes to donate as they arrive to the auditorium presentation. By donating your gently worn, used and new shoes to the GHS NTHS Shoe Drive, your shoes are given a second chance to make a difference.
