Three students from Cairo were recognized with special awards at the end of the Brookwood School year in May.
"Our Cairo students are an important component of our enrollment," said Brookwood Headmaster Mike Notaro. "Kevin Hudson and Hunter Hinson just graduated, and were standouts scholastically, athletically and in their individual character and personal achievements. Following in their footsteps are more than three dozen students from Grady County plus students who commute from other area communities who are part of our Brookwood family."
