BCHS Families,
Please be aware we do not allow deliveries to students on Valentine's Day, nor will we allow students to carry balloons and flowers throughout the building. We know you want to celebrate and share your love for your students, but we ask you to allow them to receive their gifts after school. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
🎉📚 Happy School Counselors Week! 📚🎉

📚 Our juniors and seniors were honored to have author Dale Alexander share insights from his book "The Talk About Money." 💰💡 The students were grateful for the valuable lessons learned about how to save and invest for their future, and they each received a copy of the book courtesy of our L4GA grant. Thank you Mrs. Freeman and Dr. Chastain for making this event possible for our Trojans.

Hello, Trojans!
Please visit our website where you can find a video series for parents & students of BCHS -Trojan Testimonies:
https://www.brooks.k12.ga.us/o/highschool/page/parent-involvement.
The Trojan Testimonies series is a collection of videos to highlight the information to support our Trojans in their quest to graduate from Brooks County High School with the knowledge and resources needed to prepare for the next chapter of their lives post-high school graduation. This video series is an ongoing process, and videos will be periodically uploaded to showcase specific topics based on your input. If you have questions or comments that you would like to share about our series or ways to improve our work, please contact Brooks County High School Parent Engagement Coordinator.
Check out our Trojans who are participating in a book study led by Coach Grage and Coach McFather. These student-athletes are using this time to focus on the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and energy in the face of adversity. We love when our students #readMoreBrooks!

⚡🔌 Our Brooks County High School ag students would like to share their appreciation with Ace Electric for allowing them to visit. Ace Electric hosted our students and provided a hands-on learning experience where students were able to take lessons from the classroom and see them in action in the real world! This trip would not have been possible without the support of our phenomenal Ag teacher, Ms. Thomas! Let's continue to grow, learn, and share our adventures together, Trojans! 🌱🔗

Good after Trojans,
Please see the information from the City of Quitman regarding warming stations.
Look at the skills our Trojans are developing in Ms. Thomas’ Ag Mechanics class! This class plays a vital role in shaping the educational journey of students, offering hands-on experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Learning to maneuver and use machinery not only fosters practical skills but also cultivates a deep understanding of agricultural processes. Great job, Trojans! ❤️💙
Brooks County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 15, 2024 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We will resume our normal schedule on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
After much consideration and reflection, Markel Best decided to take on a new adventure and enlist in the United States Marines! This decision wasn't made lightly, and he knows the road ahead will be tough, but he is ready to learn, grow, and serve our country with honor and pride. #bringThe Hammer
