✨ On Friday, BCHS and BCMS students had the incredible opportunity to hear the powerful testimony of Jose Ramirez.
From his journey as a student involved in gangs to now serving 24 years in law enforcement, owning his own consulting firm, testifying in major trials, and even appearing in documentaries — his story is nothing short of inspiring.
💡 Mr. Ramirez’s passion for seeing students succeed in life was evident, and our students were fully engaged and riveted by his message.

Chronic absenteeism is a challenge that affects student success, and together we can make a difference. Every day in school matters—attendance helps build strong routines, better learning outcomes, and brighter futures. At Brooks County Schools, we are committed to helping students make sure they can be in their seats every day!
This year, let’s commit to supporting our students so they can be in class, engaged, and ready to learn. When we work together—families, schools, and the community—we give our students the best chance to thrive. Please watch the attached video from GaDOE for more information on chronic absenteeism.
