Please help us welcome Ms.Birdsong to the Bearcat Family! A Bainbridge native, Ms.Birdsong enjoys painting, fishing, and spending time outdoors with her husband and their three boys. She loves the hometown pride and strong sense of community that make Decatur County special. A fun fact about Ms.Birdsong is that she's a proud boy mom of three, so her life is filled with baseball, sports, dirt, and lots of love! We're excited to have Ms.Birdsong on our team and look forward to the enthusiasm and support she'll bring to our students this school year!

📅 Time to plan, parents!

Make your student’s holidays count this school year by scheduling vacations and special activities during the designated breaks on the 2026–2027 school calendar.

Every school day matters. When students attend consistently, they stay connected, confident, and ready to learn. Plan ahead, protect instructional time, and help your child succeed!

💜 Attendance matters, every day!

Congratulations to all the Decatur County Schools' Employees that were chosen to participate in Leadership Decatur County!

Go Community Bearcats!💜💛

The 8 month journey has officially begun…Please join us in welcoming the Leadership Decatur County Class of 2027! 👏📣

Over the next eight months, this group of professionals will spend time getting to know each other, learning more about the community we call home, meeting the people and businesses who help keep Decatur County moving forward, (and maybe even stepping outside their comfort zones a little!)

We have a GREAT group and we’re so excited to see the connections, conversations, and friendships that come from this experience. Thank you to First National Bank for sponsoring this program and for investing in Leadership Decatur County.
