Kristie Brown, Principal
Hello Garrett Family,
I am ready to begin the 2024-2025 school year. We are excited about welcoming our R.E.A.L. Gators to Garrett Middle School. We will continue to celebrate student and staff successes and achievements.
Middle School can be a challenging and rewarding time for students, and it's important for us to collaborate and communicate. I welcome your ideas and feedback, and I am confident that you will join us as we support our R.E.A.L. (Respectful, Engaged, Accountable, Leaders) Gators both academically, socially, and emotionally. I am committed to ensuring that students have access to a safe, engaging, and challenging learning environment. I believe all stakeholders contribute to the success of our students, especially in middle school. As I begin my ninth year working in the South Cobb community and sixth year at Garrett, I am thankful for the relationships with students, staff, and parents, and I am inspired by the perseverance and passion that I witness daily.
I hope that you will join the team in our school and district’s mission of One Team, One Goal: Student Success!
I look forward to working with all of our R.E.A.L. Gator family members. Please email me if you have questions (Kristie.Brown@cobbk12.org).
Sincerely,
Kristie Brown

Dear Garrett Family,
Welcome to SY 2024-2025! I am thrilled to be partnering with you once again to ensure the success of our Garrett students! Here at Garrett, we continue to provide students with a safe and supportive environment where they engage in rigorous and impactful learning. All students are also provided with the academic and emotional support needed to ensure their success.
I believe in our students and the Cobb Community at-large. ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL, STUDENT SUCCESS. Bottom line -- There is nothing our students can’t achieve with the tools, support, and encouragement they receive at Garrett Middle School. My goal is to empower, equip, and inspire them for life-long success!
As the year begins, I look forward to meeting the Garrett family and partnering with you, our 6th grade parents and guardians, as we support and guide our students through their first year of middle school.
Truly, the best is yet to come!

As the 7th grade Assistant Principal, I will work diligently with you, our faculty, staff, and community to carry out the vision and mission of Garrett Middle School.
The middle school years are important and critical times for students. What happens during these years will have a lasting impression on their growth and development. My goal as Assistant Principal is to provide the leadership and support that will facilitate a school environment that is safe and successful. I am confident that our school will continue to be a place where our students can learn and grow academically, emotionally, and socially. I am committed to ensuring that our children achieve their full potential and are successful lifelong learners.

Robert Figueroa, 8th Grade Assistant Principal
Garrett Gators!
As we prepare for an incredible 2024-2025 school year, I cannot wait to see all the amazing feats our Garrett students will reach. I am especially excited to support our 8th graders as they work to complete middle school and prepare for the next steps in their educational journey.
Navigating middle school can be challenging at times, but there is an awesome community of teachers, administrators, counselors, and peers that will support you every step of the way. Students will develop and grow academically, socially, physically, and emotionally. I encourage students to use middle school to figure out who they are. Find new interest, make new friends, and learn from your mistakes; but most importantly, always be R.E.A.L. (Respectful, Engaged, Accountable, Leaders).
As I start my 5th year in school administration, I am fully committed to helping every student get closer to making their wildest dreams come true, so dream big. We are going to have safe, fun, and productive academic year.
Let’s get it Gators!
Mr. Figueroa
