When asked what memories he had from Thompsonville High School he wrote " There are many, mostly good. What I will highlight is how each class was like a large family of about 20-25. We did everything together and in my case, most of those I graduated with I started Kindergarten with. I am still in contact with most of my classmates 34 years later. Some in-person and some through social media. I am even in contact with classmates who did not finish at T-Ville but were with us for a few years.
The other memory that jumps out is sports...I was privileged to participate and represent our school in basketball, cross country, track, and baseball...all great memories...wish I could do it again"
Thank you Mr. Jody Kilburn for allowing us to tell your story. You make Thompsonville School Proud that you are one of our alumni.
