Big thanks to Jeremiah's Italian Ice for going Black & Gold last night at Gold Rush in support of the Monroe County Literacy Council! It was a great event and raised funds which will go directly to promote reading and learning across the county. We appreciate the partnership in this effort!

Way to go, Mary Persons!!! We are so proud of you!

Today, Central Georgia EMC, Southern Rivers Energy, and 28 participating Georgia electric membership cooperatives joined together to congratulate Mary Persons High School on winning the Georgia High School Association Cooperative Spirit Sportmanship Award for the 2025-2026 school year. This awards program honors schools that exhibit exemplary sportmanship during competitive events and is sponsored by Georgia's Electric Membership Cooperatives.

GHSA considers all aspects of sportsmanship during events including student-athletes on the field, fellow students, school staff, parents, and game spectators, making the award a tribute to the entire community.

We are so incredibly proud to have been awarded this prestigious honor and will continue to promote the GHSA's philosophy of promoting the fundamental values of respect, fairness, honesty, and responsibility. You can't spell CHAMP without MP!

What a great first day!

Our schools were filled with excitement, laughter, new beginnings, and plenty of smiling faces as students returned for the start of another amazing year in Monroe County Schools. From reconnecting with friends to meeting new teachers and jumping into learning, the energy across the district was incredible!

We are excited for the opportunities, achievements, and memories that await our students this year. Thank you to our teachers, staff, families, and community for helping make the first day such a success.
