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.

📚🤝 Decatur County Schools had the honor of hosting the Rotary Club of Bainbridge for their recent monthly meeting at Bainbridge Middle School! We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Rotary Club, its dedicated members, and President Tommy Howell — who served in leadership at Decatur County Schools for many years — for their continued support of our students and schools. Rotarians enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Dwalla’s, followed by a school tour led by BMS Principal David Kirkland. The tour highlighted the innovative programs, dedicated staff, and exceptional students that make BMS such a vibrant part of our school system. We are grateful for opportunities like this to strengthen partnerships with community organizations that help us fulfill our mission of excellence in education. #DecaturCountySchools #BearcatPride #CommunityPartners #BMS #RotaryClub #ThankYouRotary #Dwallas
