Brooks County High School

Greetings Parents and Guardians of the Class of 2024, Dr. Chastain met with Seniors this week and distributed important information regarding the Class of 2024 graduation practice and the ceremony. Please check with your student(s) regarding the information they received. Students also received Grad Bash information which included an itinerary. Students planning to travel to Grad Bash need to arrive no later than 9:15 a.m. and should report to the Performing Arts Center lobby. The dress code for Universal Studios was also included with the information. Students should be prepared to purchase 2 meals during the trip. If you have any questions, please call 229-588-2341.

🚨 Attention Parents and Guardians! 🚨 We will begin testing for the Georgia Milestones Assessment and College Board AP Exams soon. Please see the attached image for upcoming dates. Let's work together to support our students as they excel in their academic journey! 📚✏️ #bringthathammer

Jaleia Huewitt and Chris Cole Jr. participated in the GHSA Leadership Conference in Macon today. Two representatives were invited from every GHSA sanctioned school in the state. Thank you Jaleia and Chris for representing the Trojans!

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.

Good morning Trojans, If you have a student enrolled at BCHS and your student receives special education services, please complete the Georgia DOE survey below. Thank you! https://survey.gadoe.org/SPEDParentSurvey/Pages/ParentSurvey.aspx

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

Congratulations to our Empire of Sound 2024-2025 Trojanette Auxiliary!

☀️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.

Trojan Nation - This morning we accepted Coach Freeman's unexpected resignation/retirement as Head Football Coach of Brooks County High School. As a dedicated member of our school community, Coach Freeman has contributed significantly to the football program, students, and community during his tenure. 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. Thank you for your years of service and all the great memories, Coach Freeman. Go Trojans!!
