Thank you to our school counselors for your dedication and for the vital impact you have on our school communities and the students you support daily!
We’re proud to share that the new Bainbridge Middle School and the Bainbridge High School Performing Arts Center earned First Place in the 2025 Build Georgia Awards! This prestigious honor recognizes projects that exemplify excellence in safety, innovation, project management, and client service.
This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the strength of the partnership between JCI, Decatur County Schools, our design team, and the many local subcontractors and craftsmen who brought these spaces to life. Successfully delivering two complex, high-impact projects—while keeping safety a top priority and our school community at the forefront—was truly a team effort.
We are incredibly proud of what these buildings represent for our students, educators, and the Bainbridge community. Thank you, JCI, for your partnership and for helping deliver facilities that will serve generations to come.

Biscuits, smiles, and a whole lot of appreciation 💛
The Biscuits for the Best Teacher Appreciation Breakfast, proudly sponsored by SunStop Stores, made its way to Bainbridge High School to celebrate the educators and staff who show up every day for our students. A warm breakfast and a warm thank-you were served as a small way to recognize the big impact our Bearcats make.
Superintendent Dr. Boyd English, members of the Central Office team, and our generous partners from SunStop stopped by to share encouragement and appreciation—and of course, Sunny the SunStop mascot added a little extra sunshine to the morning ☀️
We’re thankful for SunStop’s continued partnership and for the outstanding BHS team that makes our school community stronger every day.

Winter temperatures have arrived across our area, and colder mornings are expected in the days ahead. To help students stay comfortable and safe while at school and traveling to and from campus, we encourage families to plan for the cold weather.
Warm clothing is essential on chilly mornings. A heavy jacket, hat, gloves, thick socks, and additional layers can make a big difference, especially during arrival times and outdoor transitions.
Students who ride the bus should remain indoors until shortly before pickup whenever possible. Since delays can happen, being dressed appropriately is important to limit exposure to cold temperatures.
We appreciate your help in keeping our Bearcats warm, healthy, and ready to learn throughout the winter season.
