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
