Your 2022 4A-3 District Champions! #BearcatNation #BearcatPride
Brookland Pre-K, Elementary and Middle School students raised over $25,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. They will use this money to grant the wishes of 3 of our Brookland students. We are so proud of their servant’s heart as they show the kindness and generosity of our future leaders. Brookland was the top fund raising school district for the 10th year in row.
