Congratulations to the Senior Football players for a season well played. Though the outcome may not have been what they wanted, these young men played hard for four years with a playoff run each year, three state championship games as well as the 2021 State Champs. Your perserverance will prevail and be a reminder to the upcoming team in 2023 to Hunt and Bring That Hammer. Not pictured is Jamal Sanders and Lawrence Holsendolph.

BCHS Allied Healthcare and Science seniors were visited by BCHS alumni who gave inspiration to the seniors on their pathway to pursue careers in healthcare. Angie Barkwell ('19), Jarred Seals ('19) and Caleb Healey ('17) shared their experiences as BCHS Healthcare Science graduates. Seals and Barkwell are currently in their senior year at Valdosta State University in the BSN program. After graduation Healey entered the field working at Brooks County Hospital and furthered his education at Southern Regional Technical College graduating with a LPN degree and bridged into the nursing program to earn his Associates degree in nursing in 2021. The students were suprised with a gift of a stehoscope for each student from Healey. We look forward to our senior's future in the Healthcare Industry and are proud of our aumni who paved the way and represent the #bestofbrooks #ctaedelivers
