One winner was chosen from each grade division, highlighting local students’ reflections on civic responsibility, patriotism, and community involvement while celebrating their insight and character. 
• SGSC and SRTC join forces (theblacksheartimes.com) — Students in and around Waycross now have a clearer path from Southern Regional Technical College to a bachelor’s degree at South Georgia State College’s Waycross campus.
