A Message from Dr. Kristina Brooks, Superintendent of Baldwin County Schools

 

Welcome to the Baldwin County School District, where we believe in the transformative power of public education to positively impact lives, families, and communities.

 

As Superintendent, it is my privilege to serve a district grounded in excellence, equity, and opportunity. Every day, I’m inspired by the passion of our educators, the resilience of our students, and the strength of our partnerships across Baldwin County. Together, we are preparing our children not just to succeed in school but to thrive in life.

Our mission is clear: to prepare ALL students to graduate college and career-ready. But more than a mission, this is our calling.

 

At Baldwin County Schools, I believe in cultivating brave hearts, bold minds, and resilient spirits in every student. Our mission is centered on preparing each learner for success—whether their journey leads to employment, military enlistment, or enrollment in a technical college, university, or other postsecondary pathway. My commitment as Superintendent is to ensure that every graduate leaves our district equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead, serve, and thrive.

​

We remain strategically focused on three key priorities:

​

• Teaching and Learning: We invest in rigorous, future-ready instruction—anchored in innovation, relevance, and real-world application. From our College & Career Academy and STEM initiatives to early literacy and personalized learning supports, we are designing classrooms that reflect the world our students are entering.

• Community and Family Engagement: Education is a shared responsibility, and our partnerships with parents, local businesses, higher education, and nonprofits ensure that no student walks alone. These collaborations provide mentorship, mental health services, career exposure, and extended learning that wrap around our children with care and opportunity.

• Organizational Culture and Leadership: We believe that great schools begin with great people. That’s why we’re building a district culture that supports, grows, and empowers educators and staff, recognizing that a strong team is essential to student success.

​

What makes Baldwin County truly special is our community’s spirit. While we are a small, tight-knit district, we embrace a global mindset and celebrate the diversity within our schools. We serve students with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and we are committed to honoring their stories while expanding their possibilities.

Our schools are places of joy, challenge, and purpose. From award-winning fine arts and athletics to dual enrollment, career pathways, and Navy-certified JROTC programming, our students are shining examples of what’s possible when high expectations meet high support.

​

As Superintendent, I lead with a deep sense of service and a steadfast belief that every child deserves a champion. I invite you to explore our district, connect with our schools, and join us in this important work.

​

With hope, heart, and high expectations,
 

Dr. Kristina Brooks
Superintendent of Schools
Baldwin County School District
