Barbara Conner, the backbone of Bulloch Academy for nearly 30 years, was recently inducted to the Georgia Independent School Association Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Conner became only the second female to receive the association’s Distinguished Service Award last Wednesday night amid her family and peers at the organization’s annual meeting on St. Simons’ Island. “Barbara is not only the backbone of Bulloch Academy but the heart of the school as well,” said BA assistant head of school and athletic director Chandler Dennard as he introduced her at the awards’ ceremony.
