Athletics, Prevention, and Safety

Marty McRae is the Assistant Superintendent of Safety, Prevention, & Athletics. BCBE Athletics is responsible for scheduling, acquiring officials for athletic events, and communicating with the Alabama High School Athletic Association on state-mandated guidelines for public school athletic events. The school system is a member of the Alabama High School Athletic Association. Baldwin County students can participate in the following sports: football, volleyball, cross country, swimming, basketball, baseball, softball, golf, tennis, track, soccer, wrestling, and cheerleading.

Protecting our students, teachers, and employees is my priority. The Baldwin County Public School System has partnered with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, the Baldwin County Commission, and our municipal law enforcement agencies so that ALL our school campuses have a dedicated School Resource Officer each school day.

As part of our school system’s multi-million-dollar commitment to safety, “buzz in” – video identification check is available on each campus. Everyone must follow the stated safety procedures. Of note, just because you hear “lockdown” does not necessarily mean there is an emergency on campus. We are sometimes alerted by law enforcement of a concern in the community that prompts us to implement our safety plan. Of supreme importance: if you see or hear something, say something– not on social media – but report immediately to law enforcement, a teacher, or school administrator all concerns. School administrators and law enforcement will sort out the validity. Together, we form a partnership that keeps our schools safe. Thank you for being a partner!
