Join us on Friday to remember Mr. Blom by wearing blue in his memory. Donations for his family will also be collected by the Tomahawk Shop on Thursday and Friday.
If you are interested in learning more about Mr. Blom, you can check out the obituary that describes his amazing life at the following link.
It is with a heavy heart that Baldwin High School mourns the loss of one of our most dedicated educators, Mr. Blom. As a beloved Algebra II teacher, he inspired generations of juniors and seniors with his passion for mathematics and his genuine love for teaching.
Mr. Blom had a remarkable gift for making even the most challenging math concepts understandable. But beyond the numbers and equations, he taught lessons in perseverance, curiosity, and confidence. His classroom was more than a place to learn; it was a space where students felt seen, supported, and encouraged to believe in their potential. His knee-slapping dad jokes, his memorable tie, and his infectious laughter filled the classrooms and hallways of Baldwin High.
His impact reaches far beyond his classroom walls. Colleagues remember his kindness, his calm spirit, and his unwavering commitment to his students. His legacy will continue to live on in every young person he inspired to think critically and never give up.
Our hearts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Mr. Blom, thank you for your years of dedication, your love for teaching, and the light you brought to not just Baldwin High School, but the community as a whole. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
Services will be held on October 12, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. at Gray Methodist Church. Visitation will be held after the service.
Congratulations to our CTAE Director and leader of the Baldwin College & Career Academy, Mr. Lassetter! 🎉 We are grateful for his support of our programs and feel this honor is well-deserved!
🌾 Happy National Teach Ag Day! 🌾
Today, we celebrate the incredible impact of agriculture education and honor the teachers who inspire the next generation of leaders in this vital field.
Meet our own teacher, Ms. Couch:
“My journey in agriculture education started in the classroom, where I witnessed firsthand the powerful impact and inspiration agriculture brings to students and the community. That spark ignited my passion, and I immersed myself in the FFA and everything ag-related.
I knew then that I wanted to become an agriculture teacher. I pursued my dream by earning a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture Education from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, GA. After graduating, I was thrilled to join Baldwin High School as their Agriculture teacher. Now in my second year here, I feel truly blessed to be part of this amazing school community.”
A huge thank you to my Ag teacher, Mr. Skylar Davis, my professors at ABAC, and the incredible administration team at BHS,Mrs. Clayton, Dr. Griffith, and Mr. Lassetter for all their support!
Here’s to the educators who cultivate knowledge, growth, and opportunity every day. 🌱✨

Dr. Sallad became a counselor thanks to the encouragement of his own high school guidance counselor, Mr. Flakess. After serving in the military, Mr. Flakes saw something special in him and suggested he pursue counseling—and he hasn’t looked back since!
Dr. Sallad’s favorite part of being a counselor is watching his students grow and seeing the joy on their faces when they achieve their dreams of graduation. "There’s nothing like it," he says.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Dr. Sallad and all the amazing counselors who make a difference every day!
Her journey into school counseling is deeply personal. Inspired by her younger brother, who faced isolation and a lack of support in school during the 1980s, she made it her mission to ensure that no student feels alone. Witnessing his struggles ignited a passion within her to be a source of encouragement, guidance, and emotional support for students navigating life’s challenges.
Because of her unwavering commitment, our students have a champion who advocates for their well-being every single day. Whether it’s providing a listening ear, offering guidance, or creating a safe space, she makes a lasting impact on the lives of so many.
With a mission to help develop great men and women starting at a young age, Dr. Adams has dedicated his life to guiding and empowering students. Counseling has always been a part of his journey, and the rewarding experience of seeing the fruits of his labor keeps him motivated every day.
We are grateful for Dr. Adams’ passion, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to shaping the future of our students.
