Last Saturday, Bainbridge High School Baseball Coach Ryan Riles and the BHS baseball players hosted the Fall Future Bearcat Baseball Camp!

With more than 70 young athletes registered, the camp was filled with energy, teamwork, and excitement for the game. Coach Riles knows that the youth of today are the Bearcats of tomorrow, and his hands-on involvement ensures these players are not only learning the fundamentals of baseball but also building confidence, teamwork, and Bearcat pride from the very beginning.

Thanks to the dedication of Coach Riles and the BHS baseball team, these future Bearcats walked away inspired and better prepared for the seasons ahead. We are so grateful for the opportunity to help shape the future of baseball in Bainbridge.

Jose's Final Round

Saying goodbye is never easy, but sometimes it’s even harder when a student has left such a powerful impact on an entire school.

Recently, Bainbridge High School came together to celebrate Jose’s “Final Round.” Jose, an exceptional education student at BHS, has officially aged out of the school system, and there was no way the Bearcat family was going to let him leave without a celebration worthy of his spirit.

The party theme? WWE, of course, with John Cena front and center, Jose’s all-time favorite. From the decorations to the energy, everything shouted “main event.” His family, friends, and classmates gathered to cheer him on, creating memories that will last far beyond the halls of BHS.

The Early Childhood Education students added their own special touch by guiding a fun activity where guests designed and colored championship belts, because every champion deserves their own.

This day was more than a party. It was a reminder of what makes our school system special: the love, care, and dedication that follow students from their very first day until their very last.

Jose, you are already missed. And even though, in John Cena’s words, “you can’t see me” in the halls of Bainbridge High School anymore, you will always see us around.
