Principal Jason Norred is the embodiment of BrewTech's spirit and serves his school daily with a true servants heart. Since his introduction to our school, Mr. Norred has poured his heart and soul into making BrewTech a thriving educational institution. Every day, his committed presence and dedicated leadership inspire us as students, faculty, and the broader community. He serves our school with a servant's heart and unparalleled pride, making him not just our principal, but our community's backbone.

Under Mr. Norred's leadership, BrewTech has achieved remarkable academic excellence, with proficiency scores well above the national averages in both reading and math. Under his guidance, BrewTech was the first school in Alabama to earn Cognia certification and has now earned the prestigious honor of being recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School.  BrewTech has also been recognized as a model school by Magnet Schools of America. These accomplishments reflect not only the hard work and dedication of the students and teachers, but the pivotal role Mr. Norred has played in driving our community’s success.

The decision to remove Mr. Norred is both unexpected and baseless. His departure would not only affect the academic performance of our school but would also diminish the strong sense of community and support that he has nurtured. Mr. Norred can be seen daily walking the halls of our school and greeting students. He uplifts students in everything that he does. Each day under his leadership, we are taught respect, cooperation, and  kindness through demonstration.The impact of losing such a vital leader would be felt deeply by all of us--especially as upcoming seniors. The rapport and community that he has built over the years is truly irreplaceable. 

We urge the decision-makers to reconsider and reverse their decision to remove Mr. Norred. We ask for transparency and justifications for this abrupt action, understanding that effective leadership should be celebrated, not penalized. Let BrewTech continue to flourish under the trusted and proven guidance of Mr. Norred. This action is harmful to our faculty, staff, parents, and most especially our student body. When policymakers should have the best interest of our students in mind, this is a failure of their civic responsibility.
