Over the next four to five weeks, the City of Bainbridge will conduct required maintenance on the water tower located near the Bainbridge High Campus on Highway 84. During this time, water supply to Bainbridge Middle School and Bainbridge High School will be limited. Decatur County Schools is committed to ensuring water availability for all summer extracurricular activities on these campuses. Administration will accommodate our students, faculty, and staff during this inconvenience period. We will stay in close contact with the City of Bainbridge and provide updates as the maintenance progresses. Thank you for your continued support.
