My name is Christy Brown, and I am proud to serve as the principal of South Effingham Middle School. I have worked in the Effingham County School District since 2003 serving in various roles including teacher at Marlow Elementary, assistant principal at South Effingham Middle, and principal of Sand Hill Elementary. It is with great honor that I’m back at South Middle where I started my administration career. Go Mustangs! I believe that all students can learn, given a positive and safe environment in which all stakeholders collaborate together.
South Effingham Middle School’s theme this year is “What We Do Here Changes the World”. We will focus on the growth of all members of the South Middle family. We understand that in order to be great, we have to continue to reflect on our practices and strive to grow each day. We are also excited to start our fourth year incorporating school-wide STEAM linking hands-on experiences at Honey Ridge Agricenter with grade level standards. Other major focuses this year will be safety and building strong relationships with our South Effingham families.
Last school year, we were honored to be certified as a Cognia STEAM School. This year, we will continue to receive professional development to strengthen our STEAM program. STEAM provides our students the opportunity to work hands-on at our campus and at Honey Ridge to solve real world problems. We know that this work will increase student engagement and learning. Our staff is excited to provide these learning opportunities for our students. Please join our Facebook page @SouthEffinghamMiddle to learn more information about our school and upcoming events. We look forward to an awesome year!
