Dear Trojan Family, As we recover from this unprecedented event, know our hearts are with you and your families. At last report, there was no accurate estimation for restoration of power in the near future. Many of our roads continue to remain unsafe and impassable, especially for school buses. Our Emergency Management Team remains in constant contact with Brooks County EMA and other public safety entities. Resources are spread thin not only in Brooks County, but the entire region. With that, we have made the decision that we will not be returning to school for the week of September 30 through October 4. Now is the time for recovery and healing. Brooks County Schools remains committed to the safety of our staff, students, and community. We will keep you posted on any new developments. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We will keep you updated as we have additional information. Thank you!
Based on updated information, it is the recommendation of the Brooks County Schools Emergency Management Team that Brooks County Schools close for the FULL day on Thursday, Sep. 26 and Friday, Sep. 27.
What has changed?
-Increased speed of the storm has expanded the potential earliest arrival times.
- Per the National Weather Service (NWS), Helene "is shaping up to be an unprecedented event" for the region.
-Anticipated prolonged recovery period.
-Anticipated 6"-8" of rainfall.

Delta Innovative School Seniors: Cap & Gowns will be delivered on Wednesday, April 17 at 9am.
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.
DIS Seniors: Cap & Gown Delivery will be rescheduled due to inclement weather.
Due to the conditions of the roads, Brooks County Schools will be closed today.
