🌟 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! ❤️💙
