Each year, the Barrow County School System hosts the Yes I Can! Awards Ceremony to recognize outstanding special education students. The Yes I Can! Awards have been named, “The Best Thing Barrow Does!” It has been an integral part of our special education program for the past 14 years! This awards ceremony is modeled after the Council for Exception Children’s (CEC) awards ceremony that is presented annually at their Convention and Expo. 

This is a huge undertaking and requires extensive planning, coordination, communication and collaboration from a team of people including special education administrators, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, principals, etc who are invested in highlighting our students with disabilities. 

This year marks the 15th Annual Yes I Can! Awards celebration graciously hosted by Chateau Elan. If you are interested in donating to this event, please contact Dabney Cannon at dabney.cannon@barrow.k12.ga.us. Heartfelt thanks are extended to this year's sponsors including Chateau Elan and Peachstate Federal Credit Union for helping make this an evening to remember.
