BMS Girls Basketball Team got a big win 26-10 vs Lee Co West. Congrats Ladies!
💜💛 Happy Retired Educators’ Day! 💜💛
The influence of an educator extends far beyond the classroom and lasts long after the final bell rings. Great educators do more than teach lessons; they inspire dreams, build confidence, shape character, and leave a lasting impact on generations of students.
Today, Decatur County Schools proudly honors our retired educators whose dedication, passion, and commitment have helped shape not only the lives of their students but also the future of our community.
While your years in the classroom may have ended, your influence never retires. The lessons you taught, the encouragement you gave, and the lives you touched continue to make a difference every day.
Thank you for the legacy you have built and the countless ways you have made a difference. Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat! 🐾

At Decatur County Schools, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain a top priority.
Through the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System, a program developed by Sandy Hook Promise, students are encouraged to recognize warning signs, speak up, and look out for one another.
Sandy Hook Promise is a national nonprofit organization founded by family members who lost loved ones in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. The organization works to prevent violence and protect students through education and awareness.
The Say Something program teaches students three important steps:
▪️Recognize Warning Signs: Be aware when someone may be at risk of harming themselves or others.
▪️Take It Seriously: Understand the importance of acting quickly when warning signs appear.
▪️Say Something: Report concerns to a trusted adult or through the Anonymous Reporting System.
How Can Students Submit a Report?
Every Decatur County Schools website features a Say Something Anonymous Reporting button, making it easy for students to report concerns. Students can also access the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System app to submit tips directly from their mobile devices.
By encouraging students to speak up and support one another, we can work together to create a safer school community.
Together, we can make a difference.

💜💛 Behind Every Bus Route Is Someone Who Cares! 🚌
For our Decatur County Schools bus drivers, it's about so much more than getting students from one place to another. It's about building relationships, sharing smiles, creating memories, and making sure every child starts and ends their school day safely.
Today, we're shining a spotlight on six incredible members of our Transportation Department: Jennifer Footman, Melissa Leathers, Rusty Price, Stephanie Dennis, Tamakia Washington, and Andre Carter!
From decades of dedicated service to the laughter and special connections they share with students, their words remind us just how much heart goes into the work they do every day.
Our drivers carry more than students. They carry precious cargo, big responsibilities, and a whole lot of Bearcat pride! 💜💛
Thank you for the miles you drive, the relationships you build, and the difference you make in the lives of our Bearcats!
