Brooks County Schools

📢Trojan Nation - ⚠Due to the cancellation of school tomorrow, the Varsity Baseball Game vs Pelham has been cancelled. If it is to be made up, details will be released asap. 🎉As of right now, Saturday's game vs Georgia Christian at noon is still on. 🔴🔵Thank you for your understanding and support through this bout of adversity! #BringThatHammer🔨

Brooks County Schools will remain closed tomorrow - Friday - April 12, 2024. Due to the volume of rain our area has received, there are numerous road closures throughout the county that include major routes as well as dirt roads and city surface roads. In conversations with local EMA and the county road department, they are still discovering roads that are impassible with some being completely washed out. We will continue to receive flood waters from northern regions via multiple tributaries. These factors not only create a serious potential hazard for our buses and the students that ride them, but for our staff attempting to safely navigate these roads in order to get to work.

📢Trojan Nation - ⚠Due to the cancellation of school today, there will be no athletic events after school. We will update with rescheduling information ASAP. Stay safe! #BringThatHammer🔨

Due to the conditions of the roads, Brooks County Schools will be closed today.

🎉👟💨Congratulations to our BCMS Boys & Girls Trojan Track Teams! Both won their respective SGAC Conference Championship. Way to #BringThatHammer🔨!!! ⚠No Events Today

☀️We are excited to welcome all of our Trojans back from Spring Break tomorrow! We hope everyone had time to relax and rest. We are ready to conquer the rest of the semester together! 💪🔴⚪🔵 Tomorrow a total solar eclipse will pass over North America. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun, causing the sky to become unusually dark during the daytime. We will not be in the total eclipse path in Brooks County. Our area will only experience a partial solar eclipse between 1:44 p.m. and 4:18 p.m., with the sky becoming darkest at the peak of 3:02 p.m. School operations, including check-in and check-out procedures, will continue as normal. Recognizing the importance of safety during this event, especially since it coincides with our dismissal time, teachers and staff will make every effort to keep students indoors until dismissal to limit opportunities for students to look directly at the eclipse. Therefore, we encourage parents to talk to their children about safety precautions during the eclipse. Parents who wish to check their child out of school early may do so. Early checkouts will be excused. Please follow the school’s early check-out procedures. Please emphasize the importance of NOT looking directly at the sun to your child. We encourage our families to review additional informative resources such as NASA Solar Eclipse Safety and The Great American Annular Eclipse of the Sun.

We all wish him the best as we know he will continue to #BringThatHammer in his future endeavors. Coach Josh McFather will lead the program on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is named.
