The Bainbridge High School and Bainbridge Middle School FFA Chapters welcomed students, families, and community members on May 11, 2026, to the Cloud Livestock Facility for the 2025–2026 FFA Banquet, an evening celebrating leadership, service, achievement, and the lasting impact of agricultural education in our community.
In Decatur County, agriculture is more than an industry. It is a way of life and a vital part of our local economy and heritage. FFA plays an important role in preparing the next generation of agricultural leaders by giving students hands-on experiences, leadership opportunities, and career skills that connect directly to the needs of our community.
The FFA programs continue to impress thanks to the dedication of its students, advisors, and supporters. From leadership competitions and public speaking to livestock projects, community service, and agricultural sciences, Bainbridge FFA students consistently represent Decatur County Schools with excellence and pride. Their hard work and commitment are helping shape the future of agriculture in Decatur County.
The banquet featured Opening Ceremonies, the Invocation, student awards and recognition, Senior Officer Retiring Addresses, the installation of the 2026–2027 BHS Officer Team, and Closing Ceremonies.
A special thank you to the advisors, supporters, sponsors, and community members who continue to invest in our students. Congratulations to all of our FFA members for another outstanding year of leadership and accomplishment! 💙💛

The 2026 Teach in the Peach Future Educator Signing Day was a proud and unforgettable day at Bainbridge High School as four incredible seniors officially committed to careers dedicated to serving, leading, and impacting the lives of children and families.
Tuesday, we celebrated:
• Cassidy Marshburn – Georgia Southwestern State University, Early Childhood Education
• Carmen Avila – Georgia Southwestern State University, Early Childhood Education
• Aubree Gainous – Georgia Southern University, Communication Sciences and Disorders
• Sydni Avery – Valdosta State University, Communication Sciences and Disorders
These young women represent the heart of what it means to be a Bearcat. Their compassion, leadership, work ethic, and passion for working with children will leave a lasting impact on countless lives in the years ahead.
At Bainbridge High School, we are proud to be growing the next generation of educators right here in our own classrooms. Watching these students commit to careers centered around serving others is a powerful reminder of the difference our future teachers will make in schools and communities for years to come.
And one day, classrooms across Georgia will be better because these young women chose to answer the call to teach.
