Dr. Kristina Brooks Delivers Mother’s Day Message at Georgia Military College

Baldwin County School District was honored to have Superintendent Dr. Kristina Brooks invited to Georgia Military College to deliver a special Mother’s Day message celebrating mothers, families, students, and the power of community.

Speaking to cadets, families, local leaders, and guests, Dr. Brooks reflected on the lessons she learned from her own mother, the importance of gathering around the table, and the role mothers play in shaping not only their children’s lives, but the culture of an entire community.

“For me as a mother and as the superintendent of our schools, being together is important,” Dr. Brooks shared. Dr. Brooks encouraged young people to choose “connection over competition,” challenging students from different schools, backgrounds, and experiences to see one another not as rivals, but as partners in building a stronger future and helping to make Baldwin the premier community that we all know it can be. “If we really desire for Baldwin County to be a place where everyone thrives, it is going to take all of us working together and moving in the same direction,” she said.

“Every time we teach our children to lead with compassion, to show kindness, and to work together, we are building a better Baldwin,” Dr. Brooks said. She was awarded afterward with a sabre as a gift of appreciation by the GMC community.

Baldwin County School District is proud to celebrate Dr. Brooks’ leadership and grateful to Georgia Military College for inviting her to share such a meaningful message in honor of Mother’s Day.
