We are grateful for the generosity of Mallory Hardwick and Gibson Wilson with MTI, who donated $250 to our Cross County FFA yesterday. 🌱💙 MTI recently completed the greenhouse remodeling project, and their continued support helps our students grow both in and out of the classroom. Thank you for investing in the future of agriculture and our Thunderbirds!

We love to see our friends putting into practice our motto for humility : "Not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less!"

Congratulations to the 2025 Football Homecoming Court.

Join us for the Benefit Game @ DeWitt! 🎉 Kickoff starts at 6:30 PM with Jr. High, followed by Sr. High. Can't make it in person? Catch the action live on the Cross County Athletics Facebook page or Cross County School District YouTube channel! 💙🤍

🚨 Thunderbird Trophy Update 🚨
Mr. Jerry Buchanan has passed the Thunderbird Trophy to Mr. Cody Goulart!
Jerry shared how much he appreciated everything Mr. Goulart did to help him over the summer. In a small school like ours, everybody pitches in—and Mr. Goulart is a great example of stepping up and doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
Thank you, Mr. Goulart, for your leadership and teamwork that keep our Thunderbird family moving forward. 💙🩶
