BSD Needs Assessment Survey

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Survey

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.

Panther Podcast with Coach Cameron

Season 3 Episode 5 of the Panther Podcast is LIVE!

Welcome back to another episode of the Panther Podcast!

In this episode, Dr. Henderson sits down with Coach Alonzo Cameron, a proud alumnus of the Brookhaven School District, where he once walked the halls as both a student and student-athlete.

After graduating college, Coach Cameron began his career in education and coaching in Texas. However, a life-changing call brought him back home — a decision he’s grateful he made. Since returning, he has continued to coach, teach, and pursue higher education, ultimately leading him into administration.

Today, he serves as the new Director of Mullins Achievement Center.

Dr. Henderson commends Coach Cameron for his genuine connection with students, sharing during the episode, “You have a way with our kids… they love you. The influence you have on them is so positive.”

There was no doubt in Dr. Henderson’s mind that Coach Cameron was the right person for this role. Now, as Director, Coach Cameron leads with pride, consistently reminding every student that they matter.

Tune in for an episode filled with reflection, laughter, and vision.

About Us

The Brookhaven School District, where we are “Equipping Students Today for Tomorrow’s Opportunities”, strives year after year to complete a child’s education with the highest of standards. An education that begins with excellent facilities throughout its seven-school system. Many renovations at all of the schools have taken place over the years, including a $13 million renovation and expansion project at Brookhaven High School in 2001. The high school, originally built in 1938, is recognized by the Mississippi Department of Archives as true to its Art Deco design and houses one of the most advanced sound and lighting systems of any high school auditorium in Mississippi.
