    A Message from Principal Edgecombe

    Hello Bentonia Gibbs Family, 

    I am honored to have the wonderful opportunity to serve and support you in my role as your principal. I have been at BGES since 2018. Before coming to Yazoo County in 2018, I worked in Yazoo City Municipal School for three years. During my time in education, I have taught first through fifth grades, done some book studies as an ELA teacher, supported teachers as an interventionist, and supported school initiatives as a mentor as many as six National Board Candidates . All of these experiences have prepared me for this awesome journey that is taking place at BGES. 

    When I am not working, you will most likely find me with my husband. Also, you can find me running behind our twin boys or on a walk with my two rescue pups. 

    I am looking forward to another spectacular year at BGES! You have my commitment that I will work with all stakeholders to ensure that our students are the best they can be academically and as human beings. We are one team with one goal! 

    Andrea Edgecombe, Principal
