After consultation with Decatur County 911 and receiving the latest weather briefing from the National Weather Service out of Tallahassee, FL, Decatur County Schools will be closed on Monday, March 16, 2026.
The school closure is due to the potential of dangerous winds and inclement weather that is expected to impact our area Monday morning.
Decatur County Schools plans to return to normal operations on Tuesday, March 17, 2026. We encourage everyone to remain weather aware and stay safe.

We would like to commend our administration, faculty, and staff for ensuring the safety of our students this morning during our severe weather event.
Additionally, we would like to thank all stakeholders for you patience and understanding as we returned to full power at Bainbridge Middle School and Bainbridge High School this morning.

Due to severe weather conditions this morning, some bus routes were unable to complete their full routes. If your child has not yet been picked up, please be aware that the bus will unfortunately not be able to reach your stop today. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as the safety of our students and drivers remains our top priority.
The severe weather that moved through our area earlier this morning has now passed, and conditions have improved.
We encourage students, families, and staff to use caution while traveling to school, as there may be debris, wet roads, or isolated impacts from the storm in some areas.
The safety of our students and staff is and will always remain our top priority. Thank you for taking your time and traveling safely this morning.
Bearcat Families, please continue to monitor the weather in our area and remain weather-aware while traveling to school this morning. If a tornado warning is issued, we will take the appropriate precautions to ensure everyone’s safety. The safety of our staff and students is and will remain our number one priority.
Students in Mrs. Holley's Art Class are designing and constructing functional ceramic pieces using three foundational hand-building techniques: coil, pinch, and slab construction. Beginning with preliminary sketches, students plan their designs before selecting the most suitable technique for their intended form. The project culminates in the creation of a purposeful ceramic object—such as a cup, bowl, plate, or container—that demonstrates both technical proficiency and thoughtful design.
Digging Deep into Soil Science! 🧪✨
Mr. Perry's 6th grade scientists just wrapped up their soil unit—and they got their hands literally dirty! 🙌 Our students explored real soil samples, discovering sand, clay, and silt while uncovering fascinating organic materials hidden beneath the surface.
This hands-on experience helped ignite their curiosity about what makes soil tick, inspire them to think like real scientists, and influence how they see the world around them. From decomposing leaves to tiny pebbles, every discovery told a story!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Adkins and Miss Lily from Decatur County 4-H for sharing your expertise and making this learning experience unforgettable. Your passion for soil science is contagious! 🌱
There will be a BHS Basketball Cheer Interest Meeting on March 11th. Please note the details below.
