donna_westbrooks@abss.k12.nc.us

Ms. Westbrooks worked first as a teacher and then administrator for ABSS before retiring in 2017, having served for 32 years. She is a graduate of Cummings High School, her husband and 2 children graduated from Williams High School, and she has 4 grandsons currently attending an ABSS school.

"I have always been an advocate for public education and realized quickly after retiring, I wasn’t finished promoting and supporting ABSS. I was proud to have served the students and families of our county for so many years and truly missed it. With 4 grandsons in the system, I wanted to become more involved and get back to being in the know about ABSS. I feel with my knowledge and experience from working in ABSS all those years, I could still be an advocate for public education while supporting our students, staff, and families."
