Emma Thomas, an 8th-grade student, was named the 2026 Spelling Bee Champion, and Teagan Strickland was recognized as the 2026 Spelling Bee Runner-Up.
Emma will advance to compete in the Region 9 Spelling Bee on February 28 in Bainbridge, Georgia. The regional competition is sponsored by the Georgia Association of Educators.
All spelling bee participants worked diligently to prepare for the competition, and we are extremely proud of their hard work and accomplishments.
The Irwin County Spelling Bee Coordinators are Christie Copeland (Irwin County Elementary School) and Maria Johnson (Irwin County Middle School).
Before entering clinicals, they must learn and successfully pass 22 hands-on skills, complete multiple exams, and demonstrate professionalism both in and out of the classroom.
They are being trained, challenged, and prepared for real-world healthcare. These students represent the future of our profession. Irwin County - let's continue to support, encourage, and celebrate our future healthcare professionals.
Please join us on Thursday, February 19 for our Annual College & Career Fair! This is an amazing opportunity to help expose our ICHS students to the many exciting college and career opportunities our community (and beyond) has to offer.

ICHS Alumni Spotlight – Maggie Martin, Class of 2015
We are excited to shine the Alumni Spotlight on Maggie Martin, a 2015 graduate of Irwin County High School who continues to excel in both her professional career and her service to the Irwin County community.
Maggie graduated from ICHS as Valedictorian and STAR Student in 2015, setting the tone for her impressive academic journey. She went on to attend Georgia Tech, where she graduated with highest honors in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Continuing her education, Maggie earned her Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law in 2022, graduating magna cum laude with highest distinction for pro bono service. While in law school, she also served as a GSU law student mentor, helping guide first-year students through their legal studies.
Professionally, Maggie has spent the last two years practicing law with James Bates Brannan Groover LLP, where she worked in the firm’s Commercial Litigation Practice Group. She has also served as the county attorney for Irwin County, contributing her legal expertise back to the community that raised her. Soon, Maggie will begin an exciting new chapter, joining the U.S. Federal District Court in Macon, Georgia.
While building a remarkable career, Maggie has remained deeply connected to Irwin County, frequently returning home and continuing to contribute to her community. She currently resides in Bonaire, Georgia, and enjoys traveling and spending time with her family.
During her time at ICHS, Maggie was not only a scholar but also an active leader and competitor. She was a two-time state champion on the women’s tennis team, member of Literary, Student Council & Beta Club, and was part of the Senior Year Homecoming Court.
Maggie Martin’s journey reflects a lifelong commitment to excellence, leadership, and service, and we are proud to recognize her as a shining example of Irwin County success.
