A sneak peek at a few of the photos from the Milligan Academy and Futures Unlimited 4th quarter graduation ceremony. Through the ROE 39 Alternative Programs, the graduates have earned a high school diploma from their home districts. A very special thank you to the She Gave Giving Circle for the grant funds to provide caps and gowns for our graduates! Thank you to NowDecatur with Isaiah Bradford and Ahsaan Spence for the beautiful photos of the graduates and their families! Congratulations to all!
Had an incredible time at the event hosted by Richland Community College and Grow Your Own for Decatur Public School’s Paraprofessionals and Substitutes.

Big shoutout to The Bistro's food truck for serving up delicious food! 🍔🥗 Thank you for having me be a part of this amazing experience! #CommunityEvent #Gratitude #Networking #DeliciousFood #roe39
"Today, we honor and remember all the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and selflessness will never be forgotten."

Graduation ceremonies and celebrations took place today at Milligan Academy and Futures Unlimited and pictures will follow. However, we didn't want to end the year without recognizing Jimmy Washington. Mr. Washington is the first person students see when they walk into our building, and his office is a safe haven for many. The safety of our students and staff is Mr. Washington's top priority, but he does so much more as a mentor and guide. He is selfless, caring, and dedicated to our students, supporting them through the many obstacles they have had to overcome to make it to the graduation stage. Mr. Washington, we thank you for always showing up for our students and appreciate everything you do!
