Summer Professional Development in Full Swing
On June 22nd, TCS Special Education teachers spent the day strengthening their knowledge and skills in special education documentation, compliance requirements, and best practices. They also received training on a new data-tracking program that will support student progress monitoring and enhance services for students. We appreciate their commitment to continuous learning and excellence in supporting our students!
Hewitt-Trussville Middle School Summer Reading Information for Students Entering Grades 6-8 (Fall 2026) is now available on the HTMS website or at the link below. Students should choose ONE book from their grade-level reading list to read over the summer. An in-class assessment will be given during the first week of school.
It's Time to RIDE with the HUSKIES!
We want you to be one of the first people with the opportunity to ride with the Huskies!
The Trussville City Schools Foundation and the Trussville City Schools Athletic Foundation have partnered to create a Distinctive Car Tag through the state of Alabama that supports Trussville City Schools! We are giving away the first 1000 car tags completely free to you, and we want you to be one of the first 1000 to ride with the Huskies!
We currently have 520 signups and need 480 more to get to production! Please sign up today!
1. What is the Trussville City Schools distinctive car tag?
It’s a specialty license plate that shows your support for both the Trussville City Schools Foundation and the Trussville City Schools Athletic Foundation.
2. Who benefits from the tag?
Both foundations benefit directly. Funds support educational programs, classroom needs, and athletic opportunities for students.
3. How much does the tag cost?
The first year is FREE for the first 1,000 people who sign up. After that, individuals have the option of paying $50 to renew their plate. This would be handled at the tag office.
4. How much money goes back to the schools?
From each tag purchased, $48.75 goes directly to support the two foundations.
5. Why is it important to be one of the first 1,000?
Reaching the first 1,000 commitments helps ensure the tag becomes available—and you’ll also get your first year free.
6. Do I have to pay anything up front?
No—there is no upfront cost to reserve your tag as part of the first 1,000. The only cost is upon renewal of your car tag.
7. When will I receive my tag?
Once the 1,000 commitment goal is met and production is approved, you will be emailed a voucher. Individuals will take the voucher to their tag office and pick up the license plate free of charge.
8. Where do I get my tag?
You will pick up your car tag from your local tag office. The Trussville Tag Office will have the tags available upon request.
9. Can I still get the tag after the first 1,000?
Yes! However, the free first-year offer only applies to the first 1,000 participants.
10. How do I sign up?
You can sign up through the official Google form provided by the school system or foundations.
11. Can businesses or organizations participate?
Absolutely! Anyone with an eligible vehicle can sign up and show their support.
12. Why should I participate?
It’s an easy way to give back, show school pride, and directly support students, teachers, and athletic programs in Trussville. Show everyone that you are riding with the Huskies.
