2025 Teach in the Peach Future Educator Signing Day
May 6, 2025, was declared by the state of Georgia as Future Educator Signing Day, and SCMHS was thrilled to honor Kynia Blake for her commitment to becoming an educator. Kynia will be attending Valdosta State University and majoring in Middle Grades Education in hopes of one day teaching math.
Since 2016, GA has hosted a Future Educator Signing Day during Teacher Appreciation Week, allowing local systems a chance to honor their students who have committed to becoming an educators. This year, it was hosted in conjunction with Teach in the Peach, Georgia’s new teacher recruitment campaign, which is focused on making Georgia the number one state for teachers to teach in. Because this year’s event has grown substantially with the merger of the Teach in the Peach initiative, each school was able to apply for one scholarship for a student they felt was deserving. Only 30 scholarships were awarded in the entire state, and Kynia was chosen for one of the $500 scholarships.
Those in attendance to help celebrate Kynia included her parents, Jaunwanta King and Kenneth Blake, her siblings Kyauna Blake and Jayvione King. Her very close friends, Aubr’e Warren and Aminah Johnson, along with her godmother, Keretha Williams. Her employer, Billie McClendon, Director of Family Connections, and Erin Lenz, also from Family Connections. Mr. Mark Earnest, Superintendent, Mrs. Mary Jean Albritton, Principal, Mrs. Kathryn Touchton, CTAE Director and Teaching as a Profession Instructor, and Mr. Keith Helms, Kynia’s inspiration for wanting to become a math teacher.
Congratulations to Kynia, and we wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors.
