Brooks County Schools, in partnership with the Community Foundation of South Georgia, proudly recognizes ten Brooks County educators selected as recipients of Teacher Mini-Grants through the Robert Warde Chambers Scholarship and Public Education Fund. The grants honor teachers who demonstrate creativity, innovation, and a strong commitment to student success.
The recipients were recognized at the December Board of Education meeting and each received up to $500 to support Spring 2026 classroom projects designed to enhance instruction and student engagement across the district. Brooks County Schools is grateful for the continued partnership and investment in educators whose work makes a lasting impact on students.
