Brookland High School

We had our Special Olympics Field Day on Monday. We started this last year when Covid restrictions made it hard for us to participate in track and field. This year we treated this day as a celebration for our athletes for all of their hard work in participating in Special Olympics this year. We competed in bowling, basketball, and track/field. Thanks to those that helped out! Mrs. Gardner on the grill! Mrs. Haustein and Mrs. Martin in concession! Coach Watson as DJ and announcing medals! All of our wonderful paras that go out of their way to take care of these kiddos! So many others helped too! Hope you all have a great summer!

Sara Tuetken was chosen as one of the 8 finalists in the Congressional Art Competition hosted by Congressman Rick Crawford. Sara’s acrylic painted “Murphy “ was chosen to represent the acrylic category. Sara’s artwork will hang at the Recovery Room in Jonesboro through June.

Congratulations to Jack Henry Pettit for being selected for Baseball All-State.

Brookland High School is going to partner with Black River Technical College for concurrent classes for the 2022-2023 school year. We are so excited about all the new opportunities our students will have in the upcoming years.

For students and parents of students taking concurrent classes next school year, please see the attached letter regarding our exciting new partnership with Black River Technical College.

We will be taking up Chromebooks tomorrow during 4th and 6th periods. Please make sure your child brings their school issued Chromebook, bag, strap, charger, and that the Chromebook is charged. If not, the student will be asked to get out of line and charge the Chromebook and then get back in line. If your child has a hot spot checked out, or they have not returned library books, they will need to bring them to turn in. If students owe debt, there will be a table set up for them to take care of this debt tomorrow during this time. If they owe any new debt from the Chromebook check tomorrow or have old debt that is not taken care of, they will have a slip with that debt on it to take home.

The Brookland High School Yearbook has achieved the Jostens 2022 National Yearbook Program of Excellence award for the fourth year in a row!!! BHS was recognized for effective project management and for creating a meaningful book for all students! Also, shoutout to the elementary and middle school yearbook for also achieving this goal!!!
