Brooks County Schools

Special guests and elected officials were on hand to make an exciting announcement at the Brooks County Schools Board of Education meeting on May 11. Senator Russ Goodman, State Representative John LaHood, and retired Senator Ellis Black reported that they were able to secure $100,000 from the Georgia General Assembly for Brooks County Schools. The funding was allotted from the General Assembly to build an agricultural barn on the campus of Brooks County High School. Curt Childers,  Brooks County Farm Bureau, Brooks County Commission Chairman Patrick Folsom, and Donnie Warren from the Langdale Foundation were also in attendance at the to show their support for the building of the barn. The new construction will play a key role in providing even more hands on experiences in the ag classes offered across the district. Brooks County Ag teachers Dustin Haskin and Chad Schneider along with CTAE Director Brian Law are excited for the new and innovative learning experiences that can be created with this new building project.
