“THE SUN IS SHINING, THE BIRDS ARE CHIRPING, AND A LITTLE BREEZE IS BLOWING. IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY.” If you attended Wayne County High School while Dr. JayBrinson was principal, or Odum Elementary, you’ve probably heard these words. Every day on the morning announcements, he would recite this quote. It not only provides insight into his constant positivity as a leader, but it is also an illustration of his commitment to go above and beyond. As a student who witnessed this firsthand, I can personally vouch for the impression it left on the students at Wayne County High. And this is just one example. Jay Brinson is a Wayne County native who went through the very school system he served for 28 years. He walked the halls of Wayne County High and played baseball for the Wayne County Yellow Jackets. Brinson knows what it is like to grow up in Wayne County, which contributed to his success once it became his turn to lead.
