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! 💙💛

🏆 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.
