BMS wants to take a minute and give a heartfelt thank-you to Officer Hines and CPL Fletcher, two dedicated school police officers who keep our halls safe every day. From greeting students each morning to quietly checking classrooms and building relationships with students and staff, they do the important, often unseen work of keeping our school community secure and cared for. Thank you Officer Hines and CPL Fletcher!

Our 6th grade students investigated how heat transfers through conduction, convection, and radiation with hands‑on experiments — feeling temperature changes, observing warm air movement, and testing insulating materials. Science was engaging, interactive, and (yes!) s'mores were fun. Great curiosity, teamwork, and real‑world thinking on display! 🌡️🔬👏

Our 8th graders are turning up the volume this week as they dive deep into the physics of sound waves. From understanding why a siren changes pitch as it zooms by to visualizing how energy travels through different media, it’s been a day of "ear-opening" discoveries!

We’re proud to share that the new Bainbridge Middle School and the Bainbridge High School Performing Arts Center earned First Place in the 2025 Build Georgia Awards! This prestigious honor recognizes projects that exemplify excellence in safety, innovation, project management, and client service.
This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the strength of the partnership between JCI, Decatur County Schools, our design team, and the many local subcontractors and craftsmen who brought these spaces to life. Successfully delivering two complex, high-impact projects—while keeping safety a top priority and our school community at the forefront—was truly a team effort.
We are incredibly proud of what these buildings represent for our students, educators, and the Bainbridge community. Thank you, JCI, for your partnership and for helping deliver facilities that will serve generations to come.
