Six eighth grade Bearcats took an important step toward their futures during the annual REACH Georgia Scholarship Signing Day Ceremony at Bainbridge High School Tuesday morning. Chrissy Brooks, Jordyn Burr, Haliey Donalson, Malaya Johnson, Isaiah Perkins and Jace Osborne were selected as REACH Scholars for the Class of 2031. Each student was accompanied by family members as they signed commitment forms. The program is designed to help students overcome financial barriers and pursue higher education. REACH Coordinator April Tabb recognized sponsors, school officials and community supporters for “breathing life” into the program. She also thanked Decatur County Schools Superintendent Dr. Boyd English, Bainbridge High School principal Christopher Bryant and Bainbridge Middle School principal Trish Taunton for their leadership and dedication to ensure opportunities for students.
