🚜🌾 Gearing Up for a New Adventure: Tractor Driving Lessons at BCHS! 🌾🚜 Our BCHS Ag Mech class is revving up for an exciting new experience – learning to drive a TRACTOR! 🌾🚜 Thank you Ms. Thomas for providing our students with lessons they can apply in the workforce. #bringTheHammer

🌾🌻 Our BCHS Ag class is rolling up our sleeves and getting down to the dirt with our latest project - PLANTING PLANTS! 🌱🌿 There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of nurturing a seedling into a thriving plant, and that's exactly what they are diving into in Ms. Brightwell's class. From selecting the perfect soil mix to tending to each plant's unique needs, BCHS Ag students are learning valuable skills that will serve us well in the world of agriculture. Thank you Ms. Brightwell for creating a hands on learning experience for our students. #bringTheHammer

After weathering the storm and a brief hiatus, we're happy to announce that Brooks County Schools is back and ready for action! 🏫☀️ Mother Nature may have thrown us a curveball, but nothing can dampen our spirits when it comes to learning and being together again. 😍 We've missed each and every one of you, and we can't wait to see your smiling faces back in the hallways, classrooms, and on the playground. 🥰 Let's make the most of every moment and embrace the opportunity to learn, grow, and create amazing memories together. 📝🧠 Please help us spread the word by sharing this post and tagging your friends! Let's make our return to school a memorable one. 💪📣 Here's to a fantastic reopening and a wonderful remainder of the school year! 🌈📏✨

We plan to reopen on Tuesday, September 5. If plans should change, we will make an announcement on Monday. Stay safe, Trojans!

As Tropical Storm Idalia occupies our attention, please rest assured that Brooks County Schools are actively monitoring the storm. We are in constant contact with local and state emergency management as well as local stakeholders. As of this moment, no decisions have been made in reference to the status of school closings. It is simply too early to make those determinations. We continue to be involved in several briefings throughout the day to ensure we have the most current information. We recommend that everyone visit the Brooks County 911/EMA Facebook page and download the CodeRed App. The free app is used nationwide and will provide real time emergency information for your area. The safety and welfare of our students and staff as well the entire Trojan community remains our top priority.

💡📝 Collaborative problem-solving is where the magic happens. BCHS math students are combining their unique skills to tackle complex math problems. Thank you Ms. Cain for leading your students through this learning journey! 💬🔍 #bringTheHammer

🌎🌍🌏 Learning Spanish isn't just about words; it's about connecting with stories across the Spanish-speaking world. It's like collecting fragments of different societies and piecing them together through language. Thank you Ms. Lopez for guiding our students on this enriching path. #bringTheHammer
