BCSS Celebrates Bank OZK Partnership
Barrow County Schools celebrates a new district wide partnership with Bank OZK. Several Bank OZK representatives were present this week for the signing of the District's Partnership Agreement by Dr. Chris McMichael and Mrs. Brandy Johnson. Bank OZK representatives from the branches in Winder, Holly Hill, Statham, Auburn, and Braselton are now partnered with each of Barrow's schools and programs."
The Partners In Education Program's central tenets outline the importance of collaboration and support between the schools and the business community to promote student achievement, teacher appreciation, and dual community involvement. "Through partnerships, our children have the opportunity to experience the rewards and benefits of an excellent education as they prepare to be Barrow's leaders of tomorrow," remarked Dr. McMichael.
