We are saddened today to announce that long time Track and Cross Country community coach Tommy Barnes passed away this morning. For years he volunteered his time serving the athletes of Schley Co. Please keep his family in your prayers.
Congratulations to our coaches and athletes on winning the region title in the directors cup for the 22-23 school year. The boys were 1st in the region and the girls 2nd to secure the title. Overall we were 19th in the state as a school with the boys being 17 and the girls 22. Full results can be found here: https://gadaonline.net/current-standings/
Congratulations to Kaia MacLennan, Ghufran Bhatti, and Dr. Elaine Black! They were honored today at the Schley County Family Connections Luncheon for being the valedictorian, salutatorian, STAR student, and STAR teacher. They all received Congressional awards from Rep. Sanford Bishop's office.
Kaia's mother represented her as she could not make the event.
Report cards can be picked up tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday at the elementary school office due to renovations at the middle/high school.
Schley County High School would like to thank Georgia Southwestern State University for allowing us to use the Storm Dome for graduation. We appreciate their willingness and kindness in allowing us to use the facility!
Graduates that left any belongings behind after graduation, may pick their items up on Monday at the school.

Thank you Ellaville Baptist Church for the lunch provided today for our faculty and staff! We appreciate your support and we are thankful to our community for everyone supporting our school!
Senior Parents & Students,
The weather forecast for Saturday is calling for an increased chance of rain. Due to the uncertainty of the weather forecast on Saturday and without the availability of our gym, we will be moving the graduation ceremony to Georgia Southwestern State University's Storm Dome. The time is still at 9:00 a.m. We are making this decision now to give families time to adjust their schedules for the new venue. Our gym is currently covered and being used for storage due to summer renovation. The facilities at GSW will offer a large climate-controlled space to comfortably honor our graduates.
Graduation practice for tomorrow will be at the elementary school gym at 9:00 a.m. Students may park in any open spaces in the teacher parking lots or the student parking lot. Mrs. Conner will give more information to graduates in the morning.
We appreciate your understanding as we look forward to an uninterrupted graduation ceremony.
Friday will be the last day to pick up yearbooks. Please pick up by 1:00.
Parents and student can come by the school and pick up yearbooks! We have plenty of extra books for anyone that still wants to purchase one. Cost is $60
The boys golf team is tied for 4th after round 1 and just 2 strokes out of 3rd place. Destiny LeCroy also played a great round today at the girls site. Let’s go get them tomorrow.
