Chorus Always faithful, always loyal To our ensign bright, Hail to thee our high school colors Crimson and the White To the Graduates…from the BHS Faculty and Staff! I can honestly say that this group of seniors has been an amazing class! You have come together as friends to rally around one another and unite in the face of adversity. You've lifted up one another, encouraged one another, and shown a little extra love to those who needed it! It has been an honor for me to play a small role in your lives, and there's no doubt in my mind that each of you have bright, successful futures awaiting you! I wish you all the very best and look forward to watching you grow into awesome adults! I love you! Be careful! Have a groovy day! - Marcy Burnham, Health Science Class of 2017, Congratulations, I am so proud of each and every one of you!! You have all accomplished so much in your time at BHS. Please remember that this is just the beginning, I can't wait to see all of the big things that y'all will go on to do!! Also remember that Brookwood High School will always be a special place for you, no matter where you are there will always be people here that care about you and will be willing to help you. Enjoy this time with your friends and family, it is truly special! Love, Lisa Carr, Math It’s hard to believe that our time together is coming to an end. I hope each of you remember our “life lessons.” So as your days at BHS slowly come to an end I have one more lesson for you. The most important one: BE KIND!!!! Years from now, when you run into your classmates on the street they will not remember how popular you were how well you did on test. They will not remember that you scored the winning touchdown or fell down the bleachers in the gym. They won’t remember those things. But they WILL REMEMBER how you treated them. Being kind requires bravery and strength of character. Sometime you will have to make tough choices, even if those choices aren’t popular. In that moment be still, listen to your conscience. It will rarely lead you astray. Be kind to your family and siblings. They are your biggest champions. At the end of the day, should everyone else in this crazy world decide to walk away, your family will stand beside you so treat them well. Trust me on this one. Be kind to yourself. Life is messy!!! People will hurt you. Your heart will break more than once. And in those moments of messiness remember You ARE good enough. Forgive yourself, make amends, learn from it, and move on. Be kind to yourself, and you’ll find that it’s much easier to show kindness to others. So decide how you want to be remembered. Hopefully, you’ll choose kindness. And if you can’t be kind, be quiet. Congratulations!!! This class will always have a special place in my heart. – CHAS Emily Chastain, Career Tech Class of 2018, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. You all have the potential to accomplish whatever you aspire to be. And remember your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. Keep God #1, and I know that you will all do great things! Love, Laurie Elliott, Math To the Class of 2018: As you leave us, remember to be kind and considerate, open minded and tolerant of others, and be a good citizen. Be passionate about what you care about and above all remember your vote is your voice. Don't let it be silenced by inaction! Scarlett Gaddy, Social Studies Congratulations seniors. I know this has been a long time coming and I wanted to congratulate you on making it to this very important milestone. During your time here at BHS I have had the please of teaching many of you three and some even all four years. We have learned a lot from each other. Y’all will always have a special place in my heart. Good luck on your future endeavors. I know you will make all of us here at BHS proud. Remember to keep in touch. And finally don’t forget, don’t do anything stupid. Kristen Halkias, Math Congratulations on all your hard work. You have completed something that not everyone has. Many of your friends that started school with you in elementary school or middle school are no longer with you. You have persevered and have achieved where others have not. It should be a source of pride but with an attitude of thanks to all who have helped you. Keep learning even though this part of your schooling is over. Treat everyone with kindness even when they don’t deserve it. Do your best at everything; someone is always watching. Be sure you can articulate what you believe and why. The power of government must be limited, but the power of God is unlimited. Ray Hubbard, Social Studies Class of 2018! Best of luck to you in your future endeavors! You have been a joy to teach and I wish you ALL the best. Remember and practice one of my favorite quotes: " Never, never, never give up." - Winston Churchill Joni Johnson, Science I want to wish each of you much happiness and stability as you start your new journey. Some days may have a few hiccups but stand strong and learn from each of these. Always look to the Lord for the plan He has in store for you. Regardless of where your journey takes you, never forget where you started as a child, teenager and young adult, You were loved and cared for at Brookwood High School. Be a positive influence throughout your life. Be courageous and reach for higher boundaries as you advance in your career. "GO PANTHERS" Susan Nicholson, Bookkeeper Congratulations Seniors! “Today is your day. You’re off to GREAT places! You’re off and away!” – Dr. Seuss What a pleasure it has been getting to know each of you over the last four years! It has been an honor and a privilege watching you grow into the bright and enthusiastic young adults that you are today, ready to leave your mark on the world. Each one of you has so much potential and so many gifts and talents to share with others. I’m excited to see where life takes you from here. I congratulate each of you in reaching one of the most important milestones in your lives. I sincerely wish each and every one of you the best of what life and the future has to offer. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach and guide you. Thank you for being who you are. Now bless the world by showing us who you will become. Jennifer Reynolds, Science Seniors, I feel so honored to have taught each and every one of you. I could not have asked for a better group of students. Your compassion and enthusiasm will take you far in life, I am certain. Thank you for your patience during my two jaw surgeries. You have made me so happy during what would have otherwise been an incredibly stressful year. You never fail to surprise me with your ideas, solutions, and humor. If the rest of your peers are as wonderful as you are, the world will be a much better place in twenty or thirty years than it is today. Remember to vote, start saving for retirement early, question the status quo, and be kind. I love each of you so much. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you. Perhaps more importantly, I cannot wait to see what you have in store for the future. Callie Rhodes, Social Studies BHS Graduating Seniors, Life promises you nothing and it certainly owes you nothing. YOU have to make your life happen and YOU decide how your life turns out. Don't live with regret...make good choices and treat people fairly. You are always responsible for how you act, no matter how you feel.
