May 17 - Davidson County Community College graduation where she will be recognized for her completion of the Humanities and Social Science PATHWAY through the Career and College Promise program.  *Bailey will be the first the student to complete this pathway.

 
Homeschooling has allowed Bailey the flexibility to pursue her passion for the performing arts.  She has been involved with Lexington Youth Theater, plays guitar and sings in worship band at Faith Church in Midway, where her family attends, and is a dance instructor/choreographer for Cross Movement Dance Ministry in Tyro. 

 
Bailey has been attending Davidson County Community College in the Career and College Promise program during her junior and senior years.
She will complete a pathway in Humanities and Social Science this May. She will be the first student to complete this pathway.  Bailey is on the Dean’s List at DCCC and in the Scholars of Global Distinction program.  While at DCCC Bailey took a communications class under Sylvia Walters which confirmed her decision to pursue a degree in the field of communications.  Sylvia_Walters@davidsonccc.edu
