As we close the chapter on the 2025–2026 school year, we’re reflecting on a year filled with growth, achievement, and unforgettable moments across Newton County Schools.
From academic accomplishments and student success stories to community partnerships and special celebrations, this year was one to remember. Thank you to our students, staff, families, Board of Education, and community partners for helping make it all possible.
Take a look back at some of the moments that made this school year so special in Superintendent Dr. Duke Bradley’s 2025–2026 Year in Review video. 🎥
