Good morning, Savannah.

Savannah Police responded to a Shotspotter alert at the 400 block (McKenzie Place) and found a woman with injuries that were not life-threatening while investigating a shooting.

Six soldiers on Fort Stewart received Meritorious Service Medals on Thursday for running into a mass shooting on Wednesday to stop the attack and help injured comrades — Sgt. Radford is accused of shooting five fellow soldiers.

Dr. Yancy Ford, Effingham County Schools superintendent, was named the recipient of the 2025 Georgia School Superintendents Association President’s Award on August 6—this honor recognizes his leadership and commitment to student success.

Colleagues nominated him and the award was given during the first board meeting of the new school year.

Richmond Hill High School, a new $97 million facility, opened yesterday near the Heartwood community to serve about 2,700 students.

The school features a two-story learning commons, multisport stadium, and specialized classrooms for athletics, JROTC, culinary arts, and healthcare science — offerings that promise improved experiences for both sports and academics.
