Dear BHS Graduates:

Letter from the Superintendent

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on this tremendous milestone. Receiving a high school diploma from Bainbridge High School is a significant accomplishment. For the BHS Class of 2024, it is also a time of reflection on your accomplishments both inside and outside of the classroom. It is also an exciting time as you make choices that will forever shape your life. You are ready and equipped to be world changers! We encourage you to reflect on your time in

and/or college/ technical education. There is no doubt that you will leave your mark on our world. God made you unique and supplied you with everything you need to make a positive impact on your community, state, and nation.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Best wishes for a bright future!

Letter from the Principal

Bainbridge High School Class of 2024,

It is with immense pride and joy that I congratulate each of you on reaching this remarkable milestone in your lives. As you don your caps and gowns, you embody the culmination of years of hard work, perseverance, and growth. Bainbridge High School is honored to have been a part of your journey, and I am privileged to address you on this momentous occasion.

Your time at Bainbridge High has been marked by significant achievements and extraordinary resilience. You have navigated a high school experience like no other, facing unprecedented challenges that tested your resolve and adaptability. Yet, through it all, you have demonstrated a remarkable ability to persevere, to learn, and to thrive. This resilience will serve you well as you step into the future.

As you move forward into the next chapter of your lives, I encourage you to carry with you the lessons you have learned here. Remember that education is a lifelong journey, not confined to the walls of any school. Stay curious, stay passionate, and never stop seeking knowledge. The world in and beyond Bainbridge is full of opportunities waiting for you to seize them.

Understand that success is not defined by the absence of failure but by the courage to rise after you fall. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, and view setbacks as experiences that build character and strength. Believe in your potential and trust in the abilities that have brought you this far.

While graduating high school marks an ending, it is also a beginning. Your time at Bainbridge High has equipped you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to face the future. Take with you the friendships, the memories, and the experiences that have shaped you. Lean on the support system of family, friends, and mentors who have stood by you throughout your journey.

As you step into the future, I challenge you to dream big, to strive for excellence, and to make a difference. The world needs your talents, your creativity, and your leadership. I have no doubt that each of you has the power to contribute to a brighter, more compassionate, and more innovative world.

Congratulations, Class of 2024. It has been an honor to watch you grow and to be a part of your journey. I look forward to seeing the incredible things you will achieve. Remember, you will always be a part of the Bainbridge High School family, and we will always be proud of you.

Sincerely,

Christopher Bryant Principal, Bainbridge High School

Letter from Head of School

Grace Christian Academy Class of 2024:

As you look back on the last twelve to thirteen years of your life- years that are surely marked with wins and losses, good grades and bad, ups and downs- I hope you can see the work of God to get you to this moment. Graduation marks the end of one season but more importantly the beginning of another. I encourage you to look back on your time at GCA with fond memories of classes, athletic competitions, and events with your classmates. More importantly, I encourage you to look forward to what God is calling you to do in this next phase of life. Instead of counting the days to what comes next, make each day count! Your next four years are not simply a preparation for what God is calling you to do with your life- they are an opportunity to be used by God where you are. The chapel lessons, Bible classes, and spiritual discussions you have experienced while at GCA have been building a foundation that will equip you to face the world you will encounter. Stand firm in the faith and be confident of who you are in Christ. I pray that your generation will be remembered as the one who stood up for your beliefs in the face of our ever-changing culture.

I have enjoyed getting to know each of you over my last two years at GCA, and I will always remember the impact you’ve had on this school. You are an incredibly bright, athletic, and talented group of young adults who will leave their mark on this world in a powerful way. I will leave you with our school verse for the year: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Proverbs 16:3

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

Sincerely,

Sean Johnson GCA Head of School
