Note From the Principal
As we move forward in this 2nd semester, we will have a lot of events from our Week of the Fine Arts, Storybook Ball, Brookhill's Got Talent, Fun Run, Field Day, and 3rd & 4th grade graduation. We hope to see you all at our events and celebrations of our students this semester. We thank you for everything you do to support your children and our school community. Athens is truly a special place to raise your children with an exceptional school system that is ranked in the Top 15 in the state of Alabama according to Niche's 2018 ranking.
As always, if there is anything I can do to assist your children in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime. Thank you for your partnership and being a part of the Brookhill Family.
Sincerely,
Jeff Mathheus

Car Rider Line
- Please enter the school campus on the drive next to the tree line as you do in the afternoons. This is to prevent traffic from backing up on Brookhill Drive when we have buses unloading in the morning.
- Also, we have had an increase in morning tardies. The warning bell rings at 7:45 and 7:48 your student is considered tardy. Our instruction begins first thing at 7:48 & we do not want your child to miss any instruction that is taking place.
