• My name is Amanda Badertscher. I am in my ninth year of teaching and have worked all nine years at P.B. Ritch Middle School. I graduated from the University of West Georgia with my Bachelor's Degree in 2012. I graduated with my Master's Degree in 2017 from Georgia Southern University. I graduated with my Specialist Degree at Valdosta State University in 2019 where I learned many new things to bring to the students. I was honored to be named P.B. Ritch Middle School Teacher of the Year for the 2017-2018 school year. My goal as a teacher is to inspire students of all skill levels. I want to show every student that they can do whatever they put their mind to. We have a one of a kind Physical Education program at Ritch and strive to be the best in the county. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at abadertscher@paulding.k12.ga.us. I look forward to hearing from you!
