Top teacher preparing next generation of healthcare workers

CONYERS — After spending 16 years caring for patients as a registered nurse, Mebane Key brought her healthcare experience into the classroom. Five years later, the Rockdale Career Academy healthcare science instructor has been named Rockdale County Public Schools’ 2026-27 Teacher of the Year. Key was announced as the district winner during RCPS’ annual Teacher of the Year Celebration on Sept. 29.. She was selected from three finalists — including Gena Jeselnik, an English teacher at Rockdale Virtual Campus, and Antoinette Neil, a first-grade teacher at Shoal Creek Elementary School. For Key, teaching provides an opportunity to prepare students not only for careers in healthcare but also to better understand a system they will encounter throughout their lives. “I have the opportunity to shape the next generation of healthcare professionals while also teaching students how to advocate for themselves, navigate the healthcare system, and become informed patients,” Key said. “It has truly been a blessing to combine my passion for healthcare with my passion for education.” Key has taught healthcare science at Rockdale Career Academy for five years. For the past two years, she has also served as an adjunct instructor for RCA’s Nurse Aide Training program through a partnership

Explosive plays power Buford past Dacula in 8-AAAAAAA football

DACULA — Explosive plays fueled Buford on Friday and helped the Wolves stay unbeaten on their way to a 48-7 win over Dacula. After winning the Class AAAAAA title in 2025, the Wolves are looking to make another title run this year in Georgia’s largest classification. The explosiveness they demonstrated on offense against Dacula showed they have the weapons to do it. The Wolves (6-0, 2-0) had seven plays of 25 yards or more in the first half. But head coach Bryant Appling said for every great play, his team made an unnecessary mistake. He said the Wolves needed each of those explosive plays to make up for eight first half penalties for 90 yards, including three personal fouls. “We got the win, but it was sloppy,” Appling said. “After we made mistakes, we came back and made the plays we needed to make, to score or make a stop. We’re a resilient bunch. We just made some boneheaded plays at times. We looked special when we had to, but we didn’t look special the whole night.” After jumping ahead 17-0, Dacula (3-3,1-1) tried to keep the game close as sophomore quarterback R.J. Perry threw a perfect pass downfield to
