BCMS WINS THE BIG CAT TROPHY

Banks County Middle School was awarded the “Big Cat” trophy for its academic achievements in 2010-2011. The “Big Cat Academic Challenge” is a competition between Banks County Middle School and Commerce Middle School. The schools have always had a great rivalry in sports, but never an academic competition. The Big Cat was introduced by the Principals of both schools as a means to motivate and recognize students for their achievement. The “Big Cat” competition involves two motives: the 8th grade writing test and the CRCT (Criterion Referenced Competency Test). Points are given in each area of the writing test and CRCT to determine the highest overall scores. 

Principal, Matthew Cooper, announced the victory to the entire school on Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Cooper stated: “It was a team effort to bring the Big Cat trophy home to BCMS.” Words cannot describe how proud I am of our team. This trophy means a lot to me as a Principal, and it means a lot to our teachers and students.” A parade was held in honor of the victory. Students lined the street and sidewalks and watched as the Banks County Fire and Sheriff’s Departments led the way, followed by the BCMS 8th grade band and Cooper proudly displaying the trophy.
