With full hearts, clear eyes, and deep gratitude, we announce that Southern Teachers will close at the end of 2025, concluding 123 extraordinary years of service. Until then, we are pleased to continue offering our consulting, coaching, and mentoring services through December. For administrative searches, we encourage you to contact Tim Viands at IndySchool.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve generations of school leaders, support passionate educators, and witness the lasting impact of great teaching on the lives of students across the South and beyond.

We are profoundly proud of our legacy—more than a century of championing excellence in education and building lasting partnerships rooted in trust, mission, and mutual respect.

To our dedicated staff and school partners: thank you for your unwavering commitment and belief in our work. To the thousands of exceptional educators we've had the privilege to place: you are the living legacy of Southern Teachers—your passion, talent, and integrity have shaped countless classrooms and communities.

As the owner of Southern Teachers, I find this moment deeply bittersweet. To bring this chapter to a close is emotional—but also a moment of enormous pride. I am humbled by what we have built together, and forever grateful to those who made it possible.

For my part, I look forward to retirement with enthusiasm and confidence.

Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey.

With heartfelt thanks and respect,

Carey Goodman
