The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office is now accepting applications for our Citizens Academy.  The Citizens Academy was established in 1997 to educate the citizens of Montgomery County on how the Sheriff’s Office operates and to promote public safety among our community members.  Classes are designed to be interesting as well as informative.  Citizens are given an opportunity to ride with a Deputy on patrol, tour the County Jail, volunteer at events that are sponsored by the Sheriff’s Office as well as train on the Firearms Training Simulator.

The Citizens Academy is a ‘free’ 6-week course that meets on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at our office, located at 115 South Perry Street.  All material will be discussed during the meetings and neither homework nor physical activity is required.

MONTGOMERY—U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Walter D. Givhan, a Troy University alumnus, told TROY graduates that education will help them deal with new challenges and demanding situations as they move forward with their careers.

Givhan delivered the keynote address to graduates during spring commencement for the Montgomery Campus on Monday, May 20, inside the Davis Theatre for the Performing Arts. Some 140 students took part in the 7 p.m. ceremony.

In all, 192 students earned undergraduate and graduate degrees this spring at the Montgomery Campus.

Every time I go to Garrett Elementary it seems like it is a special day with a theme. On this day they had a field day and carnival like atmosphere.

On Friday Garrett Elementary School had their Family Fun Field Day, and their Teacher Appreciation Day all in one big event. The students, teachers and staff had food, fun, and gifts presented to them all day long inside the school.  They do this event every year around the end of school.

Outside games consisted of hula hoops, sack races, boys and girls competing with each other at running and just having fun socializing with each other. The pre-k students all the way to the fifth graders all got out in the sunshine to play and enjoy the spring day in the fresh air.

The kids needed a day to unwind because they just got through with end of the year testing. The teachers needed the day as well.
