🌟 Board Member Spotlight: Jessica Goodman 🌟 As we continue celebrating Board of Education Appreciation Week, we’re highlighting the incredible leaders shaping our schools! 🔹 Jessica Goodman 🔹 Years on Board: 2 What inspired her to serve? "As a graduate of Brooks County Schools and a parent of children currently in the district, I have a deep connection to this community. My experiences here shaped who I am today, and I want to give back by helping to create a strong educational foundation for future generations. As both a parent and an employer, I understand the challenges and opportunities within our system, and I’m passionate about improving the educational experience for all students." What she loves most about Brooks County Schools: "Our district is truly community-oriented—it feels like home. Teachers, staff, students, and families all come together to support one another. I still see some of my former teachers out in the community supporting kids, and now the next generation of educators is doing the same for today’s students. Trojan pride runs deep, and we love seeing fellow Trojans succeed in all aspects of life!" Her advice for students: "Hard work is something no one can take away from you. You may not be the most talented, but if you are the most dedicated and have the best work ethic, you will rise to the top. No matter what challenges come your way, the effort you put in will always be yours to keep—and it will lead to success in ways you might not expect." Thank you, Mrs. Goodman, for your dedication and service to Brooks County Schools! ❤️💙

📣It's School Board Appreciation Week! 📣 As we celebrate Board of Education Appreciation Week, we’ll be shining a spotlight on our dedicated board members all month long!🔴 🔵 ⚪ 🌟 Board Member Spotlight: Larry Cunningham 🌟 🔹 Larry Cunningham 🔹 Years on Board: 31 (Serving since October 1993) What inspired him to serve? "There was an open position on the board, and I wanted to ensure that my children would continue to receive the same great education they had enjoyed for the previous five years." What he loves most about Brooks County Schools: "Our district is large enough to offer a variety of programs and choices for students yet small enough to give individual attention to each child." One piece of advice he has for students: "Focus on acquiring knowledge and don’t worry about the tests. You can Google the answer, but you must have knowledge to know why they asked the question." Join us in thanking Mr. Cunningham for his 31 years of service and commitment to Brooks County Schools! ❤️💙
