Congratulations to our newly elected Student Council!

2021-2022 Student Council

The Watson-Brown Junior Board of Directors

The Watson-Brown Junior Board of Directors offers an opportunity to perform community service while simultaneously gaining practical skills in administering a substantial sum of money to fund local historic preservation projects.

The Junior Board is made up of seven to twelve 10th-12th grade students in a 14 county area surrounding Athens. Board members are chosen in late September and will attend monthly meetings (usually one Wednesday evening a month) to learn about philanthropy and historic preservation and how to read a grant application and conduct a site visit. Members are then trusted to conduct site visits in pairs or small groups and then make a recommendation to the entire group about whether or not that site should receive funding. The members have a yearly allotment of $33,000 to give to local organizations for historic preservation needs. The application is linked below. The deadline to apply is September 22.

“Pratt is a great example for the younger athletes on the team. He always goes the extra mile to do what is right. He has worked hard to become the player he is today. Pratt Ferguson is a great Spartan!” – Josh Alexander, Head Coach, Varsity Football
