🏆 HALL OF FAME SPOTLIGHT: MARY KELM 🏆
Help us celebrate a true legend! Mary Kelm was officially inducted into the inaugural Class of 2026 Baldwin-Woodville Area School District Hall of Fame! 🔴⚫
Throughout her distinguished 33-year tenure as a B-W educator (1967–2000), Mary laid the foundation for our district’s modern physical education and girls sports programs. Serving 19 seasons as a head coach, she was instrumental in expanding athletic opportunities following Title IX, guiding Blackhawk student-athletes across volleyball, basketball, and track & field in the Middle Border Conference.
Beyond the wins, Mary’s greatest legacy is the discipline, sportsmanship, and pride she instilled in generations of students.
Thank you, Mary, for your foundational impact and unwavering dedication to Blackhawk athletics! Drop your favorite memories or congratulations in the comments below! 👇✨
