Welcome Back to School – Brookeland ISD
August 22, 2022
We are off to a great start to our new school year in Brookeland ISD. Our faculty, students, parents, and community members are all valuable contributors to our success. We are looking forward to our daily work as a team. Overseeing operations at the campus level are our administrators – Principal, Charlotte Odom; Counselor, Stacy Gillis; and Assistant Principal, Donald Hubbard.
In spite of the daily challenges presented these past two years from COVID illnesses, our students had an excellent year academically in 2021- 2022. Review of STAAR Tests and End of Course Exams scores show Brookeland ISD was the 5th highest rated district out of 40 districts in Region 5, with a score of 89 (B), scoring well above state and regional averages.
A detailed review of our accountability ratings from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) show superlative achievements in many areas. Brookeland High School received Distinction Designations from TEA in ELA / Reading, Math, and Comparative Academic Growth. Brookeland Elementary received a Distinction Designation in Science. The academic performance of our students across the district is a credit to our teachers, students, administrators, parents, and community members that value the quality of education that our district provides.
This summer, we were able to complete a variety of projects to upgrade our school. The most pressing need was to replace the floor in our high school building. Our floor installers removed all carpet, rebuilt the sub floor, and installed flooring similar to the new floors in our Elementary school and cafeteria. In addition to new flooring, we upgraded the high school hall with LED lighting and new paint.
Our district is well prepared to meet the needs of all students for the near and foreseeable future. In addition, the district will continue to review our daily procedures, developing additional safety and security upgrades to benefit our students and faculty.
I encourage you to search all of the information available at our school district website at www.brookelandisd.net. We look forward to another year of educational excellence in Brookeland – please feel free to contact us or stop by for a visit.
