Support Team Members schedule a meeting with parents/guardians once a student has reached their 10th absence. This meeting is in the best interest of the student.

Here at the Bacon County School District, we find that we are unbelievably fortunate to have six PHENOMENAL Board Members who MAKE things happen when those "things" better the education and ensure the safety of our students and staff. 
THANK YOU, Mrs. Hughes, Ms. Wright, Mrs. Turner, Mr. Parker, Mrs. Lee, and Mr. Beach, for your endless, unwavering, and selfless dedication, around the clock, to each of us at the Bacon County School District! YOU ARE APPRECIATED‼]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Southern Pines College and Career Academy (SPCCA) is an innovative educational collaboration designed to bridge the gap between high school and the workforce or higher education. Located in Baxley, Georgia, SPCCA is a partnership between the school systems of Appling, Bacon, and Jeff Davis counties, Coastal Pines Technical College (CPTC), and local businesses and industries. Their goal is to provide high school students with a clear pathway to success, whether they choose to enter the workforce directly or continue their education at a higher level. Open to 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students from Appling, Bacon, and Jeff Davis counties, SPCCA offers dual enrollment programs that allow students to earn FREE college credit through CPTC. With bus transportation provided by the partnering school systems, students can easily commute to the SPCCA campus.
 Their Spring 2025 enrollment has seen a significant increase, growing from 80 students in 2024 to 133 students in 2025.
 One of the most successful tools for marketing and recruitment has been our student tours. Throughout the year, SPCCA hosts multiple tours, including the 8th graders from Bacon County Middle School. Touring SPCCA and CPTC helps students explore the available programs before they begin considering them in their 10th-grade year.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to Mr. Ray Tucker, BCHS Class of 2025 STAR Student, and Mrs. Angela McLean who Mr. Tucker selected as this year's BCHS STAR Teacher. Both were honored and recognized last night, at the 2025 Citizen of the Year Banquet, hosted by the Alma Lyons Club.
Mr. Tucker expressed his heartfelt gratitude through a message he had written due to his absence. In this message, he shared the importance of putting others before yourself. He was unable to attend this event due to a prior obligation to his Varsity Raider Baseball team and a regional game that he felt he could not let his team down by missing.
Ray is most definitely a true star for his endless efforts in putting others before himself!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bacon County School District, Superintendent, Traci Martin, and the BCSD
students and staff were thrilled to welcome Georgia State Superintendent
Woods.
We are so very proud of the great work happening throughout our school district.
The main recognition and visit from Superintendent Woods was to present the
Math Master Award Banner for tremendous achievement and growth in Math
EOC scores at Bacon County High School.
Bacon County Superintendent Martin also took time to recognize and celebrate
the impressive achievements of all schools in Bacon County!
Bacon County Primary and Bacon County Elementary Schools were recently
named Title I Distinguished Schools because they are in the top 5% of Georgia.
The District also highlighted Bacon Primary for the wonderful foundation they
continue to build for our youngest Raiders to help them become successful
learners.
Bacon County Elementary School was recognized for amazing success on the
Milestone testing last year. This includes scoring in the top 5%, 6%, and 10% in
math in the three respective grades and top 20% in two of the ELA grade levels.
Bacon County Middle School soared to the top 7% of Georgia in both science
and social studies at the 8th-grade level, and 7th-grade math earned the #1 spot
in our RESA area and the top 6% in the state!
Bacon County High School is also achieving great success with a 97.4
graduation rate and steady improvements across its EOCs. We are so proud of
Raider Nation and the continued success of all schools in the district.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Bacon County School District faculty and staff recently participated in A.L.I.C.E. training. A.L.I.C.E. or "Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate," is a program designed to train us with proactive alternatives to help survive an active shooter event.   
 Safety has become a paramount issue in the world of education.  Active shooter events are becoming more frequent in our society and we must prepare for them in advance to provide our students and staff with a greater chance of survival.  The program is based on scientific studies and utilizes active learning through lectures, demonstrations, and discussions/debriefing.  These tools enable the learner to hear the information, see it firsthand, and discuss the various options available for the exercise.
 This is just one of many efforts BCSD has taken to ensure our students and staff stay safe while on our campuses.  Around 340 individuals participated in this training, including central office staff, administrators, teachers, nutrition specialists, bus drivers, and custodial staff. This training provided our district members with one more tool in their safety toolbox as well as preparing their minds to properly handle a catastrophic event such as an active shooter.]]></description>

Students and faculty strive daily to prepare and to grow. There is one area they have found to be of the utmost importance is encouragement.

					<description><![CDATA[BCES 3rd-grade students took a trip back in time at ABAC's Georgia Museum of Agriculture! The students took part in activities that recreated rural village life from 1870-1910. The hands-on activities included operating a hand press in the print shop, grinding corn to grits, washing clothes on a washboard, experiencing a one-room schoolhouse, and visiting the doctor's office! Our students wore costumes of suspenders, bonnets, and skirts with aprons! They also participated in making a homemade lunch in one of the Village's cabins. Needless to say, these kids had a "blast learning from the past"!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At Bacon Primary, Miss Baltimore and Mrs. Todd's PreK class hosted a tasting celebration in honor of Dr. Seuss and his book, Green Eggs and Ham. Students predicted whether or not they would or would NOT like green eggs and ham. Once the taste testing was actively underway, some PreK-ers quickly realized their predictions were quite accurate, while others shared their thoughts through facial expressions. The BC team makes learning so much fun!]]></description>

Each student was assigned one name and then instructed to write a heartfelt letter directly to that person.

Something that may seem so small can make such an enormous impact! We are BC Proud of our amazing, kind-hearted students and the outstanding leadership at BCES!

					<description><![CDATA[Bacon County School District’s top priority is the safety of students and staff. 
During the November 2023 Board of Education monthly meeting, Board members approved the position of an additional School Resource Officer (SRO). This position would allow an SRO to be at all four schools at all times, rather than commuting between each of them throughout the day. On Jan 4, 2024, Bacon Primary students returned from Christmas break to a new face.
BCSD’s newest team member of security is Officer Keith Hill. 
Officer Hill, previously held the title of Chief of Security, and recently retired from the Georgia Department of Corrections after thirty years of service.
While ensuring everyone is safe, he also shared that his personal goal throughout each day is to be a positive role model for students and remind them, that cops are good guys they should feel comfortable approaching. 
Officer Hill arrives each morning eager to receive his daily high-fives, knuckle bumps, hugs, and hundreds of smiles.  He and his wife of twenty-eight years, Angela, together have four children who have attended, or are currently attending, Bacon County Schools. In addition, they share three beautiful granddaughters who will one day attend Bacon Primary, knowing their Papa is keeping them safe.]]></description>

Kennedy spoke with middle school students to inform each of them, who are now at the age to receive a hunting license or will be soon, aware of what they should and should not do in a situation that is not uncommon for hunters to face. Mr. Kennedy stressed to them the importance of safety. He made his appearance right before the official opening of deer hunting season.

				<link>http://www.bcraiders.com/apps/news/article/1832896</link>

					<description><![CDATA[REACH Georgia was launched on February 6, 2012 announcement of AT&T being REACH’s first corporate partner with a donation of $250,000.
In a two-year pilot, REACH Georgia added five school systems–Rabun, Douglas, Dodge, Quitman, and Bulloch Counties–committed 35 students as REACH Scholars and invested $350,000 in student scholarships. Today, REACH serves all 180 school systems across Georgia and more than 3,600 Scholars, committing over $36 million in scholarships.
This program is open to Bacon County students in grade 8 and, if selected, can make a huge financial difference in the lives of our students. REACH Scholars must complete a rigorous application and finalists participate in a thorough individual interview with a panel of community stakeholders. Once scholars are selected they begin participating in monthly academic coaching sessions and bi-weekly mentoring. This support continues from grades 8-12. If scholars maintain appropriate grades, attendance, and discipline during this time, they each receive a $10,000 scholarship to be used for college (including technical colleges as well). 
 The criteria for selection include: eligibility under the federal income eligibility guidelines, having a secondary cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 or better in all core courses, being academically promising, having a clean discipline record with no more than two minor infractions, and zero out-of-school suspensions, have a strong attendance record, meet Georgia residency requirements, and meet U.S. citizenship or eligible non-citizen requirements. School systems give preference to students who are the first in their families to attend college and students who have the ability to make A’s and B’s with additional support and assistance.
REACH partners with Georgia school systems to participate in the program. For the first year of a school system’s participation, REACH funds $10,000 for each 8th-grade REACH Scholar. In the second year of participation (second cohort of REACH Scholars), and each year thereafter, the school system must raise private funds for a portion of the $10,000 REACH Scholarship and REACH provides funding for the remainder of the scholarship. Based on Bacon County's poverty level, REACH Georgia will provide $9000 of the $10,000 scholarship for each scholar. We partner with our community to raise an additional $1000 for each of the five scholars each year. 
Bacon County 2023 REACH Scholars were sponsored by: Alma/Bacon County Development Authority, Alma Lions Club Foundation Inc., Bacon County Hospital & Health Systems, FNB South, Pineland Bank, and Satilla REMC Foundation, Inc. 
The Bacon County School District 2023-24 REACH Scholarship recipients are Kathie Guyton, Jazmyne Henning, Anthony Menera, Ellagail Patterson, and Albert Wilcox. 
A formal signing was held for these scholars and their families at the Bacon County Board of Education. We appreciate the amazing support from the schools and community who filled the room to celebrate and encourage these rising stars!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At Bacon County Middle School, eighth-grade students in Mrs. Mullis and Mrs. Dial’s English and Language Arts class, work collaboratively in small groups/target groups. This learning process consists of students and teachers dividing into “Small Groups” during instruction. Small groups allow students and teachers more one one-on-one time together as they break down individual obstacles each of them may face, while also learning and building alongside their peers during group discussions. An excellent demonstration of teamwork by BCMS, as they target and conquer barriers each individual student may face.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Bacon County Athletics Program was awarded the Georgia Athletic Directors Association (GADA) Regions Director’s Cup for the 2022-23 school year, this prestigious award recognizes the top overall athletic program in the state in each classification and is judged objectively by awarding points for each team’s finish in the state playoffs. The Red Raiders competed in the Region 1- A Division 1 classification and finished with 594 points which placed them as one of the premiere programs in the state.  Out of 285 schools that were judged, Bacon County finished at 119. This is huge for our local high school athletic department and was all made possible in a team effort by BCSD Athletic Director, Sug Parker, student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and booster club members who contributed to another fantastic year in Bacon County Red Raider Athletics! With seven region champs in 2022-23, and eight BC coaches named Coach of the Year, it is evident why they have received the very HIGHEST achievement presented by G.A.D.A! We couldn’t be more “BC Proud” of their dedication and determination.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bacon Elementary Students in grades 3rd-5th were encouraged to take part in the BCES Weekend Little Caesar's Fundraiser Kickoff, incentive. 
They were challenged with selling as many pizzas as they possibly could before returning. With a Teacher In-service Day on Monday, this would hopefully encourage them to make good use of their extra time. After selling from September 15 through September 18, students who sold 3, 5, or 7 kits during this period were rewarded with a sweet treat as they returned to school on the following Tuesday. A large number of students within BCSD have unbelievable support systems at home. The eagerness so many BC students have to put in the work to do whatever is needed to raise money for their school is incredible! Awesome job guys‼ We are incredibly BCProud of you‼]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bacon County Schools will close for students and staff on Wednesday, August 30th due to Hurricane Idalia. We are expecting high winds, and possibly even hurricane force winds in our area. 
As of now, we plan to return to normal school operations on Thursday, August 31st assuming Bacon County has power and our roads are clear for buses to travel. 
Any change in school operations for Thursday will be announced via Parent Connect, our district Facebook page, and our local radio station on Wednesday afternoon.  
Our focus is, as always, to make sure our students and staff are safe.]]></description>

				<link>http://www.bcraiders.com/apps/news/article/1801979</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bcraiders.com/apps/news/article/1801979</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Safety revisions and facility upgrades were completed at Red Raider Stadium just in time for fans to benefit from them, this past Friday night, as the Varsity Red Raider Football team kicked off their 2023 season. 

In years past, fans may have found themselves forcing their way into the crowd to maneuver from inside of the stadium to the parking lot. Thanks to E-Splost funds you will now find that four dual gates have been installed for a prompt exit in the event of an emergency, to avoid possible collisions, and of course to create a peaceful, pleasant environment. 

With the comfort and convenience of Raider Nation in mind, you will find that concession areas have been broadened and are now more spacious for those in line or just passing through. 

While some may be moving swiftly in the direction of their destination, others tend to socialize before, during, and even after the game. Fans can now linger in newly constructed “park-like” common areas which were designed for a more comfortable feel for those in attendance as they enjoy an ice-cold bottle of water, and order of fries. 

Lastly, dim areas are a thing of the past with additional lighting added for a more safe and secure facility.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BCES Georgia Milestones testing begins on May 2nd. Mrs. Catherine Cox, 3rd grade teacher, read her classes a story "Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!" by Dr. Seuss, to help her students stay calm and rest assured that they are prepared and have the tools they need to be successful! The story celebrates the uniqueness of young students in school, and tells a story of how teachers prepare their students all year giving them skills and strategies to do their best. On test day the students begin with a feeling of sadness and worry, but as they start the test they realize their teacher was right, they were prepared!

Together they subtracted their total from the money she had to spend to see what was remaining. The two classmates then discussed what may be a good choice of book for the remainder of the money. 
So many great things happening here...adding, subtracting, money sense, life skills, process of elimination, helping a neighbor, being kind. We are unbelievable proud of not only our students intelligence, but that they're kind people with beautiful souls.]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.bcraiders.com/apps/news/article/1724416</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Coach Greg Gay selected Mrs. Vickie Rewis as the January Heart of Service Award Recipient. He said this about why he selected Mrs. Rewis for this honor:
The Heart of Service Award is for a person who is devoted to their organization and has a willingness to serve others at the expense of their own personal sacrifice. Someone that sees their 8-5, or in our case 7:30-3:30, as more than just a job, but an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves. It’s an award given to someone that loves their community and because of that, their influence is felt outside these walls.
I personally admire this person because they call it like they see it. When you ask this person something, you can count on getting the truth without any of the beating around the bush. This person is “seasoned” and because they’ve been around a while, they’re a go to person for so many of us. 
This person has a tough exterior, which is evident with their interaction with the students, parents, and faculty. However, when you peel back the outer layer, you see a person who loves kids, always acting in the student's best interest, and loves this school. 
Unfortunately, we don’t always accurately assess someone’s value until they are gone. This person isn’t leaving, at least not yet; however, this school will have some really big shoes to fill when they decide to retire. When preparing for this I came across this quote, which I think accurately describes this person.
“When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.” -Simon Sinek
The Heart of Service Award goes to a person who brightens our mornings, often giving us much needed laughter to start the day when leading us in the National Anthem. For her unselfish desire to serve our school staff, students, and parents, I am honored to give the award to “THE” Vicki Rewis.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Students in the Education Pathway also get to experience FCCLA because it is intra-curricular. Through this intra-curricular lesson, students learned about the FCCLA National Program, Student Body. The Student Body Program helps students learn to make informed, responsible choices for their physical and mental health. Student Body has four different units; The Healthy You, The Fit You, The Real You, and The Resilient You. Heidi Taylor, Registered, Licensed Dietician, shared important information about nutrition for teens as well as about her career for The Healthy You unit. Alison Lee, BCHS Instructional Coach came to share her knowledge of yoga and a method of meditation for clearing our minds. The Real You and The Resilient You was covered with the help from BCHS Counseling Department (Selina
 Copeland & Amanda Williams). They spoke about how we should only focus on the things we can control and not the things out of our control. Mrs. Jessica Johnson & FCCLA chapter officer, Taylor Pritchett also taught about positive affirmations and presented the S.L.I.M.E. Method by John Spencer.

Students who chose to audition went before a judging panel and performed a set of scales and a solo etude. After that, the judges grouped the scores and set a District Honor Band. Our student musicians competed against other students across the entire state of Georgia. Four of our very own Red Raiders stood out to the judging panel and were selected to join District Honor Band to perform in events during the month of February with students who were also chosen from other school districts. Congratulations to our very own, BCHS, Aly Baladez (Trumpet) & Jackson Waters (Trumpet), as well as our BCMS District Honor Band musicians, Kate Johnson (Percussion) & Jorja McKinnon (Alto Saxophone)‼️]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mrs. Garrett's BCMS class did their CBI (community based instruction) at Pineland and FNB south. The staff was fantastic with the students. In class they have been discussing withdrawals and deposits, banking staff explained how that worked with them, they got to see how coins are sorted, how the tube system works, how an ATM works and so much more. There are lots that happen “behind the scenes” at the banks and the kids got to ask any questions they had. Mrs. Garrett said that it was a wonderful experience for all! Thank you to our local banks for hosting our students‼️]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BCES encourages students to "Read to Lead".  In essence they encourage students to read what they enjoy and award them by the number of words they have read, rather than the number of books. This leads students to selecting books that they will thoroughly read and comprehend. BCES, fifth grader, Rayna Taylor, was the first to reach the "One Million Word" goal this 2022-23 school year. Congratulations Rayna! Keep reading and achieving your goals!]]></description>
