Ms. Felicia Cummings will join the BCSD team as the School and Community Relations Coordinator.

Ms. Cummings is a graduate of Georgia College and State University with an earned Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature, Dramatic Arts, and a minor in Mass Communications. Ms. Cummings grew up in the public education school system of Wilkinson County, and her talent in writing, both creative and technical, was fostered by the support she received from her English and language arts teachers, as well as from the support from the community. Because of this support system, it was no surprise that she returned to her hometown to work as an educator alongside the teachers who helped shape her into the woman she is today. From 2006 to 2012, she taught British Literature, Drama, and Journalism at Wilkinson County High School. Her previous work experience also includes teaching at the Baldwin County location of GNETS, where she quickly completed the requirements to become a certified educator.
Cummings continued her career in journalism with the Union-Recorder newspaper as a general assignment and education reporter. She held that position for four years. In 2016, Ms. Cummings accepted a position as the Public Information Officer (PIO) for the Milledgeville Police Department and the City of Milledgeville. Her most recent position is with the Wilkinson County Extension Office.
Over her career in education and journalism, Cummings has been recognized and received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Georgia School Boards Association Beacon Award for public education. She was nominated by the Baldwin County Board of Education, December of 2015. She also received recognition for her public service to the community by securing a Jefferson Award in 2017, presented to her by WGXA Broadcast News. In July of 2016, Ms. Cummings was awarded a Buckle Up America Award by GTIPI for her public information coverage and promotion of seat belt safety.
