My daily short-term goal is to make my family, my alma mater @BenedictEDU, and @HenryCountyBOE proud of me. I believe I’m on the right track. A notable event occurred at the State House on February 18, 2026.

What a fantastic @HenryCountyBOE NHD regional competition. Congratulations to all participants—well done! You've worked hard, and we enjoyed celebrating everyone. Best wishes to our state qualifiers—see you at LaGrange College. #HenryExperiences@KeshaMuhammad3@AkbarEducates
Supt. Woods on HB 310, the Student Teacher Promotion Act:
HB 310 passed the GA House. It would create a needs-based grant program for Pell-eligible student teachers: up to $5K during student teaching and a $2,500 signing bonus after 30 days of teaching in a GA public school.
February is Black History Month, a time to honor the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. This year’s theme, "A Century of Black History Commemorations," explores the impact of the past 100 years of national efforts to study, honor, and commemorate the history, culture, and contributions of people of African descent.

I loved co-facilitating this session w/ you, Melanie! Modeling strategies like gamification and seeing students rise to the challenge were great. Teamwork made that high-rigor task look easy! Thanks for the partnership! #BrightFuturesBeginInHCS#DoingSocialStudies@AkbarEducates
It was a pleasure to see these strategies, @melanie_kellam! Students engaging with Social Studies concepts through gamification demonstrates how to build lasting historical thinking skills. The collaboration in the room was incredible. #DoingSocialstudies#HenryReads
I love it when I get to model a gamification lesson for teachers, especially when our @HenryCountyBOE Social Studies specialist joins me. Thank you @DrMilesk31 for your expertise and support. Engaging✔️, rigourous✔️, formative✔️, high effect size✔️, fun for me✔️✔️✔️

Team SS is enjoying #GCSS2025! We’re inspired by Malcolm Mitchell's keynote and a panel with his high school teacher, Ms. Stone. Exciting insights and connections. @KeshaMuhammad3@AkbarEducates
Our District Social Studies team is truly inspired! There's no better way to ignite students' passion for learning about history than through hands-on, engaging activities. Let's make learning about our past unforgettable! #DoingSocialStudiesHCS
