The 2026 Teach in the Peach Future Educator Signing Day was a proud and unforgettable day at Bainbridge High School as four incredible seniors officially committed to careers dedicated to serving, leading, and impacting the lives of children and families.
Tuesday, we celebrated:
• Cassidy Marshburn – Georgia Southwestern State University, Early Childhood Education
• Carmen Avila – Georgia Southwestern State University, Early Childhood Education
• Aubree Gainous – Georgia Southern University, Communication Sciences and Disorders
• Sydni Avery – Valdosta State University, Communication Sciences and Disorders
These young women represent the heart of what it means to be a Bearcat. Their compassion, leadership, work ethic, and passion for working with children will leave a lasting impact on countless lives in the years ahead.
At Bainbridge High School, we are proud to be growing the next generation of educators right here in our own classrooms. Watching these students commit to careers centered around serving others is a powerful reminder of the difference our future teachers will make in schools and communities for years to come.
And one day, classrooms across Georgia will be better because these young women chose to answer the call to teach.
