Newton County Schools

Newton County Schools is entering an important new chapter. In this message, Superintendent Dr. Duke Bradley shares an update on the development of our next Strategic Plan and the transition from our current Organizational Priorities. Over the coming weeks, we will highlight three-year impact results — including student growth in reading and math, expanded access to advanced programs, strong graduation outcomes, and continued investment in our people. We’re proud of the progress made — and excited about what’s ahead.

Partnerships that create opportunities. Newton County Schools and Amazon recently celebrated the launch of an Amazon Think Big Corner at Newton County STEAM Academy — a hands-on STEM minilab designed to spark curiosity and innovation. While the space is located at the STEAM Academy, the opportunities it creates will extend far beyond one campus. Through this initiative, students across Newton County Schools will have access to innovative tools like robotics, drones, and 3D printers as they explore STEM concepts through hands-on learning. Watch the video to see how this partnership is helping expand STEM learning experiences for students across Newton County Schools.
