The DuBose welcome train keeps rolling as he appeared on SOWEGA Live’s Morning Show. Decatur County Schools would like to extend a huge thank-you to the Touchdown Club and Bert Hines for organizing, and sincere appreciation to Kevin Dowdy, station host, for the warm welcome and for having him on the show. We’re grateful for the continued support and excitement from our community! GO CATS!

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.

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.

During the meeting, teachers talked through what students learn each year to make sure skills and expectations build smoothly from one grade to the next. They identified areas where students may need extra support and worked to avoid unnecessary repetition, creating a more seamless learning experience.
By aligning key vocabulary, teaching methods, and how student learning is measured, teachers ensured consistency and clarity for students as they move forward in school. This teamwork reflects a strong commitment to high expectations, clear communication, and continuous improvement—so every student is supported, challenged, and prepared for what comes next.
