Pride-Ups are not your typical Write-Up!

BMS teachers recognize students for demonstrating positive actions that fall under one of our five character domains: Participation, Responsibility, Integrity, Dedication, and Effort.

Greenhouse Garden

Mrs. Ward's class enjoys working in the greenhouse each week. They have planted so much and are enjoying watching it all grow. They go out weekly to water, monitor progress, and to put in more plants. So far the class has planted corn, beans, squash, broccoli, cantaloupe, pumpkin, radishes, lettuce, spinach, bell peppers, an herb garden, multiplying onions, lavender, and pansies. Mrs. Ward plans to use the garden for cooking lessons and to raise funds for things they may need in the classroom.

We practice Social Distancing at BMS!

BMS was chosen as an A+ College Ready Middle School Training & Incentive Program School!

Along with only 6 other middle schools in Alabama chosen for this honor, Brookwood Middle School has committed to dive deep into the A+ College Ready program designed specifically for middle schools whose feeder high schools are not in the AP Training & Incentive Program. This will result in the implementation of high-quality, highly-challenging courses in grades 6-8.


PSAT - As part of the MSTIP, our 7th and 8th grade students will take the PSAT this fall and then again in the spring. Those who show growth in their PSAT scores will receive gift cards from A+.

Huge CONGRATULATIONS go out to the new members of our Scholar Bowl Team!
