Just two days before the new school year starts for students, Bulloch County held open houses throughout the district, introducing parents and students to new grades, new teachers and even some new principals. "This is the time that we find out the exciting thing of who is the teacher this year and basically get to know the personality, not just for the teacher but for us parents - kind of get to know who's going to be responsible for our children each year," said Julie Brown, the parent of students attending Nevils Elementary School, during an open house Wednesday. Some schools in the county have seen changes in principals, including Nevils Elementary and Langston Chapel Elementary.
