REACH Georgia Scholarship Signing Day Ceremony

On November 8th, 2024, Bainbridge High School proudly hosted the Decatur County School System's REACH Georgia Scholarship Signing Day Ceremony.

The REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) program is a scholarship initiative that begins in 8th grade. Scholars are paired with a mentor and an academic coach throughout high school and must maintain a 2.5 GPA in core classes, good behavior, and strong attendance. Scholars who successfully complete the program and graduate are awarded a $10,000 scholarship, which can be used at any HOPE-eligible institution in Georgia.

We are pleased to announce the 2024-2025 REACH Scholars:

▪ Ayden Evans

▪ Harly Jones

▪ Zayden Stokes

▪ Oliver Villegas

▪ Peighton Waye

Special recognition goes to REACH Coordinator Kathy Varner and our DCBOE speakers, Dr. Boyd English (Superintendent), Christopher Bryant (BHS Principal), and David Kirkland (BMS Principal). Thank you to this year’s scholarship partners: The Thomas M. and Irene B. Kirbo Charitable Foundation, First Port City Bank, Envision Credit Union, and Monica and Scott Ewing.

Please join us in celebrating these scholars and their promising futures.
