🏆 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROOKIE ALL-STARS! 🏆
We are beyond thrilled to announce that Team 11214, the Bainbridge High School robotics team the [CY]BEARCATS #1121, have officially been named the Rookie All-Star Award winners for the Galileo Division at the 2026 FIRST Championship in Houston! The World Championship hosts roughly 600 of the top teams from over 3,000+ global competitors. To win this on the Galileo Division means the [CY]BEARCATS were selected as the standout rookie team from a field of dozens of world-class programs.
The judges had some incredible things to say about the team's culture, "This team has succeeded in creating a culture of connection. Full of purple, they exude the core value of FUN, bringing time, grit and work together. They made the judges’ choice easy."
This award isn't just about building a robot; it’s about building a foundation. It recognizes a first-year team that truly "gets it"—exemplifying the mission of FIRST to inspire the next generation of scientists and technologists while fostering a strong, sustainable partnership effort.
From the long hours with their robot to the iconic purple fedoras on and off the field, the grit and passion of these students, mentors, and sponsors have paid off on the world stage.

🎓✨ Graduation is almost here! New Beginnings Learning Center hosted a great Parent and Student Night last night as we get ready for graduation on Saturday, May 16! ✨🎓
NBLC serves students in grades 6–12 and focuses on meeting each student where they are, with individualized instruction, support services, and caring staff who truly invest in their success. At NBLC, it’s all about building relationships, encouraging growth, and helping students move forward with confidence both in school and in life.
Families heard a warm welcome from Mr. Austin and helpful updates from Principal Green, making sure everyone feels ready and supported for the big day.
We are so proud of these students, the teachers who pour into them every day, and the journey that’s brought them here. We cannot wait to watch our Bearcats shine on graduation day! 🐾🎉
One of the best parts of being here at the George R. Brown Convention Center is the "Coopertition." Whether we’re sharing tools or discussing match strategy, the energy in the pits is unmatched. We’re especially excited to rub elbows with powerhouse teams like The HOT Team (67) and Killer Bees (33) today! And to meet some of our other favorites, like BombSquad(16). Of course we have to shout out our mentor team, The Commodores (6919) and all the other Georgia teams here in Houston!
Good luck to everyone competing. Let’s have a great day 2!

This recognition means more than just an award. Each of these students was selected as the top writer for their grade level across the entire district, with their work standing out for creativity, originality, and strong voice. Their writing now moves on to represent our district at the regional level through SWGA RESA.
It represents hours of imagination, hard work, and the courage to put thoughts into words. Writing allows our students to share their voices, tell their stories, and connect with others in meaningful ways. Each of these young authors has demonstrated not only skill, but heart, and that is something truly special.
We are incredibly proud of these students and the bright futures ahead of them. Keep dreaming, keep writing, and keep sharing your voice with the world. 🐾💛

Way to Go Bearcats!
In one of the most electric matches EVER, BHS Boys Soccer fought their way to a HUGE first-round State Playoff win on Centennial Field!
Backed by a packed home crowd and the full force of the Bearcat community, our boys fed off the energy all night long. Every touch, every save, every shot had the crowd locked in and pushing them forward.
After a tough 2-2 battle through regulation and overtime, it came down to penalty kicks. That’s where the Bearcats stayed composed, executed, and finished the job. 💥
GO CATS! 💜💛

This week, the Bainbridge High School Football Team took the field for their first practice under new Head Coach Jamey DuBose, and you could feel it from the very first whistle.. the field was buzzing, the hits were loud, and the intensity? 🔥 Off the charts!
From drills to full-contact reps, every snap carried purpose. Every player brought effort. Every coach demanded excellence. This wasn’t just practice… this was the beginning of something special.
The Bearcats showed up ready to work and Coach DuBose is already setting the tone for what this program is going to be about.
There’s a new level of intensity in the air… and it’s contagious. GO CATS!
