The Largest DRC-Lite Graduation to Date

The evening of June 14, 2016, was a unique celebration of a completed mission. It was the 6th Commencement Ceremony of the Southwestern Judicial Circuit Day Reporting Center - Lite, and the largest graduating class to date.

The Pope Center on the campus of South Georgia Technical College welcomed 19 graduates, proud family members, and friends.

The keynote speaker, Stuart Perry, challenged the graduates: "You graduates have a bigger purpose in life... Be aware of the good things around you."

The DRC Lite program began in 2012 with only six graduates for the first graduation.
