📚🤝 Preparing Today. Protecting Tomorrow.
The Brooks County School District Leadership Team and the Brooks County Police Department came together yesterday for a full day of impactful professional learning with the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB).
The Crisis Training explored a variety of situations that can arise within a school community and provided research-based strategies for prevention, response, recovery, and collaboration. Through meaningful discussions, scenario-based learning, and cross-agency teamwork, participants strengthened their ability to make informed decisions during challenging situations.
Our leaders left with a deeper understanding of crisis preparedness, stronger partnerships with local law enforcement, and practical tools to help ensure our schools remain safe, supportive, and prepared for every student, staff member, and family.
We are grateful for our partnership with SREB as we continue our commitment to providing safe and secure learning environments for all.

Our two-week Camp Odyssey, for Gifted and Talented students grades Kindergarten through 6th from North Brooks Elementary and Quitman Elementary, concluded today! The camp participants hosted a showcase to share their research projects. The theme for the camp this year was "Farming and Agriculture," and the students presented projects on various farm animals or equipment. Mrs. Candace Brasington and Mrs. Christine Hiers were the coordinators for the camp. It was a great experience for all involved!
💙🎶 A HUGE thank you to our incredible community partners! 🎶💙
