Marcie Bradberry
Citizens of Concord and Molena, I want to introduce myself as your candidate for Pike County School Board District 4.
My qualifications for School Board include former High School Teacher and District Administrative Staff with experience in Federal Programs and Title Funding. I have volunteered on many community boards and currently serve on the Southern Crescent Technical College Culinary Arts Board assisting in raising over $60,000 in scholarship funds. I also serve on the Thomaston Community Christmas Kitchen Board feeding approximately 3000 people Christmas Dinner each year and was formerly President of the Pike County FFA Alumni.
I am a proud resident of Pike County, married to Jamie Bradberry, and a mother to my two beautiful daughters Kelli & Kara. Kara is a 2017 PCHS Graduate and Gordon College Student. Kelli and her husband Wyett have blessed me with my first granddaughter. I am a Small Business Owner, Chef and Restaurateur. I am active in my church and hold fast to my faith. I am a Sunday School teacher and Family History Center Director for the Pike, Upson, Spalding & Lamar counties. I am a strong believer in service to others and being actively involved in my community.
As a former teacher and school administration staff, I hope my experience and passion for working with students and my leadership and management background will have a positive impact on Pike County Schools.
I humbly ask for your support and Vote for Pike County School Board District 4.

Chris Childress
My name is Chris Childress and I am seeking the School Board District 4 seat. I am a rooted Pike County resident, raised in Molena and Hollonville, and a 1998 Pike Graduate. I worked many years in the electrical field gaining considerable knowledge in data system infrastructure. I earned degrees from Gordon State College in Political Science and History as well as a Juris Doctorate from Mercer Law. I have a law practice in Zebulon, serve as Vice-President of the Pike Kiwanis, Chair the PCPRA, and have spent over a decade coaching kids. With two children in the school system and two more starting school in the next couple years, I have a vested interest in the success of the Pike County school system.
I measure school success by way of student development and by how the school interacts with the local community. I believe strong work ethic, good character, and perseverance are required to achieve success. Additionally, I believe contracting with local businesses for school projects and partnering with local clubs lends to a stronger community. I intend to utilize my life, work, volunteer, and educational experience to promote a school system that is engaged with its community and produces students with a ‘go-getter’ mentality.
I will continue to advocate for student achievement and sincerely appreciate your vote on June 9th. Please contact me with any questions you may have at chris@childressjustice.com.
