Students in Mac Lewis's Engineering program showed off their computer science skill sets while representing Bainbridge High School this Monday in the GaSTC Programming Challenge. As one of the only teams from Southwest Georgia to participate, these dedicated students navigated through different programming challenges during the two hour competition. The competition was held virtually in middle and high schools across the state of Georgia hosted on the HackerRank platform. The competition allows students to experience the world of Programming and Cyber Security firsthand while testing their skills. We are proud of these students who are the first in Bainbridge to participate in this competition. Way to go Bearcats!
Our talented One-Act Play Competition team proudly earned 3rd place with their captivating performance of The Diviners. Special recognition goes to All-Star Cast members John Stout and Sarah Shaw, with a heartfelt congratulations to Nevaeh Chance, honored as Best Supporting Actress.
Inspiring Innovation at Bainbridge High School!
Our Director of Instructional Technology, Amy Zock, recently led an exciting training for BHS teachers on integrating Virtual Reality goggles and the Z-Space into their lessons!
With VR goggles, teachers explored a virtual mechanic shop and even toured Anne Frank's home, bringing history and literacy to life through technology.
The Z-Space allowed teachers to assemble mechanical arms, create pizzas, and even dissect a heart—opening up hands-on, immersive experiences for our students.
This cutting-edge technology is enhancing learning The Bearcat Way, where literacy, technology, and engagement come together. The Decatur County School System is committed to building a Promising Future for every student!

Happy Boss’s Day, Dr. English!
What better way to celebrate Boss’s Day during Homecoming Week than with a tailgate potluck lunch?! We are beyond grateful for Superintendent Dr. Boyd English, whose genuine care for his staff shine through in everything he does. From the big decisions to the everyday moments, he leads with heart and vision, always making time to support and uplift those around him.
Today, we celebrate not just a great leader, but someone who truly believes in the Decatur County community. We’re lucky to have such a hands-on and caring superintendent guiding us the Bearcat Way

Our West Bainbridge Primary students are putting their engineering skills to the test!
They’re using the engineering design iProcess to build their very own playground equipment. Next up, they'll bring their designs to life by using Spheros to move their equipment around the playground. Innovation at its finest!
