I hope this message finds you all well and that you are preparing for the upcoming weekend, especially with the excitement of prom. It’s a special time for the Class of 2024, and we’re all buzzing with anticipation for the annual Promenade, followed by a night filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable memories.
This week at Bainbridge High School has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m thrilled to share some of the highlights that made us all a little prouder to be a Bearcat.
