By Team Reports Apr 16, 2026, 7:51pm Baldwin barely beat Howard the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Braves' defense stepped up to hand the Huskies a 7-0 shutout on Thursday. Baldwin's defense has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a goal in their last three matches.

On March 12th, when severe weather swept through Baldwin County, bringing heavy rain, powerful winds, and fear to many of our youngest students, a small group of chickens found themselves at the center of a much larger story. And at the heart of it all was Mrs. Linda Kadian. Trusting Instinct in the Midst of the Storm Prior to the storm, the National Weather Service hadn't held its early detection weather briefing, leading to many Middle Georgia school districts with little n

There’s something powerful that happens when students step outside the classroom and into a challenge.

From Baldwin Basketball to Higher Education Leadership When Dr. LaMario Primas graduated from Baldwin High School in 2002, two moments stood out: basketball and graduation. “I played basketball in high school," Primas reflected, "and graduation was a very monumental time."

From Baldwin Classroom to Critical Care When Dr. Anil K. Puri graduated from Baldwin High School in 1997, he carried with him more than strong grades and extracurricular experiences. He carried perspective. After attending private school through eighth grade, Puri entered Baldwin High as a freshman and quickly recognized the gift of learning in a truly diverse environment. “Perhaps the greatest gift that Baldwin gave me was the ability to be in a diverse environment,” he said

From Baldwin High to the World When Dr. Kristy Cuthbert graduated from Baldwin High School in 2001, college did not feel inevitable. “I was a low-income student and a first-generation student. I kind of had it in my mind that college was something people did if they had the money.” But sometimes it only takes one voice to shift a trajectory. In biology class, Cathy Grimes encouraged her to apply for Governor’s Honors, a simple suggestion that opened a new possibility. “It was
