Dr. Warletta Brookins was the only principal at Fulton that received an Academic Improvement Award from the state which was given because the school's ISAT scores were sustained over a two year period with a total increase of 15.7%. She was hired by the LSC in January of 2005 and even though Fulton is set to be reconstituted in 2008, she maintained a positive atmosphere with her staff and showed the character and strength that true leaders possess.
