Richmond Hill High School students will have the opportunity to participate in a worldwide school walkout March 14 aimed at promoting student safety. According to an email from Principal Debi McNeal, Richmond Hill students can choose to take part in a "sit in" rather than leave the building. "Last week, RHHS administrators met with Student Council," the email reads.

Clayton Matthew Davis, Amber Lindqvist and Charis Ann Peterson, all of Bryan County, earned their place on the dean’s list for fall 2017 at the College of Coastal Georgia. The students named to the dean’s list achieved a grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 to 3.99 while enrolled as full-time students.

While it may be too late to change the financial decisions of the past year, it’s not too late to contribute to a 529 college savings account and claim the tax benefits of that investment on your tax return. Contributions to the state of Georgia’s Path2College 529 Plan made by the tax deduction deadline, this year – Tuesday, April 17 – are eligible for deduction on the preceding year's tax return. “With tax season upon us, families are working on their 2017 tax returns and focusing on financial planning for the future,” said Caylee Noggle, interim president of the Georgia Student Finance Commission, which partners with the Office of the State Treasurer to administer the Path2College 529 Plan for the state of Georgia.
