Education in Brookhaven and Lincoln County BROOKHAVEN ACADEMY
Brookhaven Academy is an independent school that helps develop students into mature young adults who are prepared to succeed intellectually, physically and spiritually. “Our mission at Brookhaven Academy is to provide a Christian-based, college preparatory curriculum in which each student is challenged to achieve excellence,” said Brian Emory, BA’s director of development. The school, which is not affiliated with any particular denomination of Christianity, offers education from K-3 through 12th grade. The elementary school uses curriculum that covers writing, reading, math, language, science, social science and the Bible.
BROOKHAVEN SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Brookhaven School District offers a wide range of programs, including a thriving Mississippi Scholars program and a Rising Scholars program. Superintendent Roderick Henderson hopes to help Brookhaven improve its accountability ratings. His goals include ensuring all teachers are working to grow students and that all students are growing. Henderson believes a key to BSD’s success is motivating and developing students through a variety of extracurricular and academic programs.
LINCOLN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Lincoln County School District focuses on the communities surrounding the schools to help students thrive. The district is comprised of Bogue Chitto Attendance Center, Enterprise Attendance Center, Loyd Star Attendance Center and West Lincoln Attendance Center, each operating as its own K-12 school. David Martin took on the head position at the Lincoln County School District in 2020. “With vision and commitment, we can make our school system even stronger, providing greater opportunities for our students and, in the process, serving as a catalyst in attracting business and industry to this region of Mississippi,” he said.
