If you ask Rhonda Crane when she first knew she wanted to teach, she’ll tell you it happened back in second grade, long before she had her own classroom, her own students, or her now 28-year teaching career. “Every day I would play school,” she laughs. “But when I really knew this was my calling was in fifth grade.

On a typical school day, lunch is often rushed something eaten between bells, emails, and obligations. But tucked inside the cafeteria at Baldwin High School, something different is happening. The Baldwin Bistro feels less like a school lunchroom and more like a neighborhood café. There’s a dedicated dining space, carefully plated food, and students moving with purpose: greeting guests, running dishes, and keeping everything on pace. What was once unused space has become a pl

What you do  know is this: if someone just a little older, someone who learned this recently, who remembers what it felt like when it

Last month, James Lunsford Gymnasium became the setting for a powerful moment of reflection, pride, and celebration as Baldwin County Schools officially unveiled the banner honoring the 1977 Baldwin Bravettes Basketball Team, a team whose legacy helped shape the future of athletics in our district.
