Brown named Banks County High School principal

Banks County High School Assistant Principal Mike Brown has been named principal of the school effective July 1.

In an email to staff Friday, Superintendent Ann Hopkins said, “Mike Brown is one with great integrity and judgment skills. He is interwoven in this community and understands the students and their families and recognizes the challenges and uniqueness of our population. His heart and educational philosophy are deeply rooted in meeting the needs of all students.”

Brown will replace Christine Bray, who is retiring after 31 years in education.

Brown is a graduate of Western Carolina University and holds a leadership degree from Georgia Southern University.

He began his teaching career in 1990 and became part of the Banks County School System in 2002. He has taught special education, health, physical education, and Georgia history. He also has coached football, basketball, and track. He was named Banks County School System Teacher of the Year in 2011.

He began administrative responsibilities in the school system in 2015 when he was named transportation director.

Brown and his family are long-time residents of Banks County.

He is married to Cynthia Brown, the assistant principal at Banks County Primary School, and they have three children and three grandchildren.

The system will begin the search for a new assistant principal for the high school immediately.
