Edwin Bailey ~ Class of 2004

Edwin Bailey was a fifth-round pick in the 1981 NFL Draft, and played his entire 11-year career with the Seattle Seahawks. Edwin served as an NFL scout with the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers following his professional playing career. 

After football, Edwin was Director of Operations for the Midlands Marine Institute in Columbia, SC, an alternative school for juvenile offenders. While at MMI, he was responsible for mentoring the students and coordinating student placement within the community.

After graduating from Charter Oak State College in 2004, Edwin ventured into the world of paraeducation at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, WA. Edwin and his partner, Tyler Earnest, work in the special education department.

During a news interview in 2020, Edwin said, "Everybody thinks that football was my crowning glory, but it wasn't. It was working with Tyler.“
