SOUTH TIPPAH SCHOOL DISTRICT

What SOUTH TIPPAH SCHOOL DISTRICT does

South Tippah School District is a public K-12 school district and government state entity serving the South Tippah County area of Mississippi. The district operates six schools plus a Pre-K program: Blue Mountain School (K-12), Pine Grove School (K-12), Ripley Elementary, Ripley Middle School, Ripley High School, and the Tippah Career & Technology Center. Its headquarters is located at 402 Greenlee Street, Ripley, Mississippi. The district is governed by an elected School Board and administered by Superintendent Tony Elliott, and it holds an A-rated designation from the Mississippi State Department of Education.

The district's core service offering is free public education from early childhood through grade 12, augmented by child nutrition services (including free and reduced-price meal programs), Section 504 accommodations, Title IX compliance, and vocational/technical training through the Career & Technology Center. Technology integration across campuses is a stated operational priority, supported by an Active Resources SSO-based staff portal and Google Workspace (Gmail) integration. Community and parent engagement is delivered through the district website, a newsroom, school calendars, and a social media directory. The Pre-K program is hosted on a separate Google Sites platform.

As a governmental entity, South Tippah does not operate a commercial revenue model. It is funded through a combination of state appropriations, federal grants, and local tax revenues, and provides tuition-free education to resident students. The district monetizes auxiliary services such as paid meals (subject to periodic price increases, most recently publicly noticed in June 2026) and offers a LINQ Connect-integrated free/reduced meal application workflow. Its customer base is geographically constrained to families residing within the South Tippah County catchment area. No financial figures, enrollment counts, or headcount data are disclosed in the available sources.
