📢Great Morning, Trojans! 🎉🏀Congratulations to our BCMS Girls' Basketball Team for going undefeated last week with wins over Brookwood, MacIntyre Park, and Clinch Co. Our MS Basketball programs are back in action Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday this week. 🎉🎶Congratulations to The Empire of Sound for its performance Saturday at the Deep South Band Competition. Please see the following accolades earned: 🏆Best In Class - Drum Major, Color Guard, Majorette, Danceline, Drumline, Band 🏆Excellent Rating - Drum Major, Color Guard, Majorette, Drumline, Band 🏆Superior Rating - Danceline This was after yet another outstanding performance in Ocilla Friday night. ⚠🏀👧Our HS Girls Varsity Basketball Team will open its season with a scrimmage at Valdosta Saturday night. Expectations are VERY high for the Lady Trojans this year! Good luck, ladies. 🏈Finally, we need to clear up exactly where we stand with football region standings as there is a vast amount of misinformation floating around. Clinch Co and Charlton Co play this Friday, the 8th, and it is of great interest to us. ⚠If Clinch Co beats Charlton Co, there will be a 3-way tie between Brooks, Irwin, and Clinch as all will have 1 loss. In that case, we win the region based on point differential. ⚠If Charlton Co beats Clinch Co, Irwin and Brooks will be tied at the top of the region with 1 loss. Irwin Co won the head-to-head matchup, so we would be the 2 seed. 🎉Either way, we will be hosting the first round of the playoffs on Saturday, November 16th. Time TBA. We all need to be Clinch Co fans this week so the playoffs come through Veterans Stadium. 🙏As always, thank you for all you do for our student-athletes!! #UN1TY🔗 #GoTrojans🔴🔵

📚✨ Happy Retired Educators Day! ✨📚 Today, we honor and celebrate the incredible legacy of our retired educators who dedicated countless years to Brooks County Schools! Their hard work, passion, and commitment have left a lasting impact on our students, schools, and community. 💙❤️ If you're a retired educator, we’d love to hear from you! Comment below with your years of service! 👏 To our followers, tag any retired educators you know so we can celebrate their contributions together!

⏰ Don’t forget, Trojans! This weekend, we’re FALL-ing back an hour! 🍁⏳ Change can be good—especially when it means an extra hour of sleep! 😉💤 So, embrace the time shift and get ready to start Monday refreshed. 🌞 Who’s excited for the extra hour? Drop a 🍂 if you are, or a ☕ if you’ll be needing a little more coffee! 😆

📣Join us in celebrating this Rising Trojan! 📣 Dr. Marilyn McCluskey is no stranger to Brooks County Schools! As a member of the Brooks County High School's class of 1990, Dr. McCluskey believes in the importance of education and is a cheerleader for our Trojans! We are thankful for the unique ideas and resources Dr. McCluskey brings to her role as an educator at Delta Innovative School, and we look forward to all that lies ahead for our students as they learn alongside this passionate educator! "She has been a great asset to the new teachers in our building. She also has provided great resources for our parents. She does a great job at building relationships with our students and oftentimes goes above and beyond for her students. Thanks Doc" #SaturdaySpotlight #TrojanTeacherOnTheRise

Welcome to November, National Family Engagement Month! Stay tuned this month for more ways to engage and support your Trojan's success! Tip #1: Set aside just 10-15 minutes each day to read with your Trojan. Whether it’s a bedtime story, an interesting article, or even reading together while cooking a recipe, those few minutes make a big difference! 📖✨📚 For more resources to support reading with your family, check out the #ReadMoreBrooks campaign in our community!
