Letter from the Superintendent

To the Class of 2023:

Congratulations on making it to this time of your lives. This is a moment of closure as one chapter of your life ends and a new, exciting chapter begins. Know that we are very proud of you and very humbled to have been able to share this journey with you. As you move forward in life, you will one day look back and realize how great it was to be a Bainbridge Bearcat!

The Decatur County Board of Education is honored to be a part of your successful journey. We encourage each of you to continue to pursue your passion in life and never give up on any of your dreams. However, don’t just dream, work with persistence and determination towards achieving your dreams. Ray Kroc once said, “Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are

omnipotent.”

So, as you leave the halls of Bainbridge High School as the Graduates of 2023, take the same persistence and determination that got you to this day and take the world by storm. Don’t give up on a dream and don’t let anything prevent you from being all that you can be. “The Bearcat Way.”

And remember, once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat!

Sincerely, Tim Cochran Decatur County Superintendent

Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Grace Christian Academy Seniors of 2023:

I want to congratulate you all on reaching this important milestone in your life- one that will surely be a stepping-off point for many amazing things to come. After spending years together (some of you since preschool), you will now be parting ways to follow the unique path that God has laid out for your life. You have been together for countless athletic events, chapel services, and field trips. You have shared laughs, tears, good times, and tough times as you grew from children to young men and women. While I only had the privilege of being with you for one year, I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of your time at GCA. You are truly some of the brightest, most compassionate, hard-working, and Godly young people I have ever met, and I will never forget my first graduating class from GCA- the class of 2023. As you get ready to embark on your next adventure, I want to encourage you to keep Christ in the center of your lives and to remember the truths of scripture you have learned during your time at GCA. More than just knowledge, those Bible classes and chapel services were intended to equip you for the world that you will now encounter. I want to encourage you to make an impact on your world and to embrace a mission mindset wherever you go. Have confidence that you are called and equipped for the specific mission field that you will encounter- be that college, work, or the military. Wherever you go, remember the challenge I’ve often given you this year- to be different and to be set apart. I will end with our verse for this year- “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that by testing you may discern the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

On behalf of the faculty and staff of GCA, Congratulations!

Sincerely,

Sean Johnson GCA Head of School

GRADUATION ISN’T THE END OF YOUR JOURNEY, IT’S

ONLY

THE BEGINNING.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BHS CLASS OF 2023.

No matter where life takes you, never forget where you came from. Or how proud we are of each and every one of you. The future is bright, Bainbridge. Find your passion. Follow your dreams. And always believe in yourself. It’s the Bearcat way.
