About us

Jefferson Todd Educational Center is a kindergarten through twelfth-grade program operated by the Lamar County School District. Located in Purvis, Mississippi, we serve students from Baxterville, Purvis, Sumrall, Lumberton, and Oak Grove. Our students complete their coursework through Edgenuity, following the schedule and requirements of their home schools. At Jefferson Todd, we focus on building positive relationships and supporting the whole child. Through our PBIS incentives and weekly social-emotional learning (SEL) groups, we encourage responsibility, growth, and a sense of community that helps every student succeed.
