Brooke Lockett has announced her candidacy for Northwestern Consolidated Schools Board, representing Moral Township in the 2022 November General Election.

As a 2007 Triton Central High School graduate, being a part of the Tiger community is in her blood. She is a Shelby County resident born and raised, and currently resides in the district with her husband, Zach (also a TC graduate), daughter, Mara Ruby, who is in all-day PreK at Triton Central Elementary, and their 20-month-old son, Sage.

Upon graduating from TC, she received her Bachelor’s degree from Franklin College in Spanish & International Relations, and completed her education with her Master’s degree from the University of Louisville in Sport Administration.

She currently owns her own event management business yet finds she still dedicates most of her time to raising their children. Their son, Sage, has complex medical needs, so advocating for him is one of their top priorities.

Over the years her work as an event management professional has taken her all over the country, planning events for sports organizations, corporations, and pharmaceutical companies, but her roots have always led her back home to the community and school district that shaped who she is today.

She has stayed involved with the school district in various capacities since leaving the walls of TC over 15 years ago. She has stepped in as a substitute teacher during her college years. She was also an assistant cheerleading coach at TCHS for four years. She currently organizes the silent auction portion of TC’s annual Pink Out basketball fundraiser, and she is a member of the Triton Central Elementary PTO, helping to equip and empower the elementary staff members and student body alike.

She has also, for the last two years, coached her daughter’s FTA Cheer squad. As a professional and as a mother, she wears many hats – hats which she feels confidently qualify her to be a strong candidate to serve Moral Township as a member of the school board.

The tides of change are upon us in our county and in our community, and she is confident that she can do her part to keep the district grounded and standing firm in what makes their community so special. It’s a culture that you can’t find anywhere else: close-knit, generous, familiar – this is what it means to be a Tiger.

She believes that part of staying grounded in who we are is realizing that growth may happen, but it needs to be done so responsibly and with transparency. Growth is needed to better a community and can be done so in a way that keeps us standing firm in our roots. She firmly believes that we cannot lose sight of who we are when making decisions that impact our children.

Further, Lockett believes the relationships forged at TC throughout the years are beyond compare. She wants to play a role in upholding the integrity of those relationships between the school board and the community. She also wants to be an advocate for the community when it comes to current events and decisions that their school may face. She has learned what it means to truly advocate and stand up for what you believe in when it comes to the well-being of our children. She is confident that she could represent the voice of the TC community well.

Lockett states that the TC community, school, and children deserve the very best – she looks forward to serving the community as a Northwestern Consolidated Schools Board member, representing Moral Township.
