On Thursday, April 23, 2026, senior members of the Brooks County High School Art Club hosted a special paint party at the Presbyterian Home in Quitman! 🖌️💛
This meaningful event allowed our students to connect with the community while completing their required service hours for the Fine Arts Diploma Seal. Even more special—every canvas, brush, and paint used was made possible through the Robert Ward Chambers Grant.
We are so proud of these talented students for sharing their creativity and kindness:
Brenda Barnes
Carolina Cruz Mujica
Karla Zepeda
Tina Sharkey Lewis
Starrion McIntyre
Kyndall Robinson
Moments like these remind us that art has the power to bring people together across generations. 💫

Our community and school district have lost a fine man. Mr. Nathaniel "Terry" Turner will be missed in so many ways by all who knew him. He was a school bus driver, worked in our Maintenance department, and was President of the Brooks County Touchdown Club for 20+ years. There was no greater fan and supporter of the Trojans than Mr. Terry, and he truly loved our students and staff. We extend our prayers and sympathy to his family and loved ones. ❤️
The Brooks County Middle School Band invites you to their Spring Band Concert on Thursday, April 23rd at 6:30 PM at the BCHS Performing Arts Center.
Come out and support our talented student musicians as they showcase all their hard work and growth from this school year. It’s sure to be a wonderful night filled with great music and school pride! 🎺🥁🎼
We hope to see you there!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Simmie Jackson (Captain) earlier today. He had been courageously battling cancer, and his strength throughout that journey was a testament to his character. We all knew Simmie as a colleague and friend, and more importantly, he was a man who deeply loved God and his family. He cared immensely for our students and he will be missed terribly. We ask for prayers for his loved ones during this difficult time. Additional information regarding funeral arrangements will be shared as they are made available. Semper Fi, Captain. 💔
