Thank you Dr. Bice and Sheriff Brown for your service!

The simple act of handing over a wooden paddle became a powerful symbol of the past meeting the present in Bulloch County this week, as former principal Billy Bice reconnected with Sheriff Noel Brown.

Our schools invite veterans and the community to attend our Veterans Day programs. Thank you to our veterans, some of whom are our employees, for your service and sacrifice.

Our students learn about patriotism through our nation's patriotic traditions, written words and music. We look forward to them putting these lessons in practice as they honor the heroes who've served our country.

Modern classrooms are filled with technology like providing laptops and Chromebooks for each of our faculty and students and interactive whiteboards with touch displays for classroom instruction. The education special purpose local option sales tax (E-SPLOST) provides funding for the initial purchases and periodic upgrades for these technologies.

Registered voters will decide if the E-SPLOST will be continued for another five-year cycle.

A big shout out to Mrs. Autumn Horton. She worked very hard with many of our students to help them come up with creative and beautiful posters.

We appreciate you and your love for our students.
