Brookhaven School District Home

Beginning January 27, 2026, the Brookhaven School District is seeking input from students, staff, parents, and community members through the 2026 Comprehensive Needs Assessment Survey.
Participation in this survey is vital, as responses will help the district assess and address priorities related to school safety, technology, classroom instruction, and overall educational programming. Additionally, the results of this needs assessment will directly inform district decision-making regarding the allocation of funds for Title I, Title II, Title IV, Title V, and School Improvement grants.

Welcome back to another episode of the Panther Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Henderson sits down with the new principal of Lipsey Middle School, Misty Sias. Sias has a beautiful history with the Brookhaven School District dating back to when she attended as a student. She proudly wore her red and blue letterman jacket while teaching at other school districts showing others what "We Are Ole Brook" really meant.

In 2008, she brought her talents back home starting as an academic coach at AJH. She loved her previous position so much that she became hesitant about accepting her current role of leadership. "I was going to be a team player though," she said to Dr. Henderson during this episode.

As she reflects on her journey as a principal so far, she's glad to guide the students, faculty and staff members at Lipsey Middle School with wisdom, standards, and an infectious good time!

The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) has redesigned its teacher recruitment website, TeachMS.org, that markets the teaching profession in Mississippi while breaking down the teacher preparation and licensure process into easy-to-understand steps.

Anyone interested in becoming a teacher is advised to explore the website to learn about how to get started. The website includes a quiz to help potential teachers find the licensure pathway that fits their background, an interactive salary schedule, and links to job listings in the new Mississippi Educator Career Continuum Archive (MECCA) Talent Portal. It also includes highlights about the benefits of teaching in Mississippi, including incentives for teachers and the state’s No. 2 national ranking for affordability.

In the interest of enhancing existing security measures at designated Brookhaven School District sporting and activity events, a clear-bag policy has been implemented. Please click the link for more information.
