In a decision to help keep everyone safe, Habersham Schools Superintendent Patrick Franklin made the decision to close school on November 11, 2025.
School officials have been checking roadways tonight. We have pockets of snow fall and precipitation across the county. These conditions have caused moisture to form that will freeze overnight.
Unfortunately temperatures will not rise above freezing until tomorrow afternoon, making a delay ineffective. Our transportation department does not feel safe putting buses and student drivers on the roadways tomorrow.
All Habersham County Schools will be closed for students and staff tomorrow, November 11, 2025.
Tallulah Falls School
A similar message was broadcast from Tallulah Falls School.
Due to inclement weather and the possibility of icy road conditions, Tallulah Falls School will be closed on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. The safety of our students, faculty, and staff remains our top priority. Please stay safe and use caution if you must travel.
The Tallulah Falls Bass Fishing Team of DJ Broome and Shepard Crumley traveled to Lake Jackson on Saturday, and the Indians brought home the victory.
This was the team’s first time ever seeing Lake Jackson. With no practice, TFS did its job researching the lake. Unexpectedly, the morning started out raining. Once the rain moved out, the fog moved in with a 3-hour fog delay.
After getting out on the water, the duo reeled in their fifth fish two hours into the tournament. The next tournament will be on Clark’s Hill Lake December 13.
Today Habersham News is proud to launch Honoring Veterans Week, a special series dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the brave men and women of Habersham County who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Instead of limiting recognition to Veterans Day alone, we are sharing veteran stories and tributes all week long, highlighting their service, sacrifices, and continued impact on our community.
Across Habersham County—from Clarkesville to Baldwin, from Demorest to Cornelia—veterans have played a defining role in shaping the character of our towns. They have served in every branch of the military, in conflicts and peacekeeping missions around the globe. Many returned home to continue serving—becoming teachers, business owners, firefighters, public servants, church leaders, mentors, and cherished neighbors.
“Veterans deserve to be honored more than one day a year,” said Habersham News publisher Peter Madruga. “Their service didn’t stop when they came home, and our appreciation shouldn’t stop after a single holiday on the calendar. We want this community to know their names, their stories, and the lives they’ve lived in service to others.”
Throughout the week, Habersham News will feature:
Local veteran highlight articles
Photographs and submitted family tributes
Historical features on Habersham County servicemembers
Opportunities for the community to honor veterans publicly
We invite the public to take part in this week-long celebration. If you have a veteran in your family—or a friend, neighbor, or loved one you’d like to honor—please share a photo and their name on the Habersham News Facebook page. Your submissions will help us create a meaningful display of appreciation that reflects the heart of our community and the pride we have in those who served.
Residents can also visit habershamhistory.org/veterans, where Habersham History maintains its Virtual Wall of Honor, a growing collection of local veteran profiles that preserves their legacy for generations to come.
Habersham is a county with deep roots of service and sacrifice—and this week is about telling those stories with the dignity and gratitude they deserve.
To all veterans: we thank you. We honor you. We remember your service—not just today, but always.
To share a veteran’s story or for more information, message us on Facebook or email news@habersham.news.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, the collision happened on November 6, 2025, at approximately 9:15 AM. Troopers say Vehicle 1, a 2006 Ford F-350 driven by Adena Fry, 44, of Clarkesville, was traveling east through the Exxon gas station parking lot. Vehicle 2, a 2014 Ford Focus driven by Ana Vera, 30, also of Clarkesville, was traveling south on Highway 17.
Investigators report that Fry attempted to turn left from the parking lot onto the highway and failed to yield, pulling into the path of Vera’s vehicle. The Ford Focus struck the F-350 in the roadway.
The F-350 came to rest outside the travel lanes, while the Ford Focus remained near the area of impact.
Both drivers were transported to Gainesville for medical evaluation after reporting injuries. The extent of those injuries has not yet been released.
The crash remains under investigation by the Georgia State Patrol.

Cornelia, GA – A warm crowd gathered last night at The Common Ground in Cornelia as Gainesville Mayor Sam Couvillon visited Habersham County for an open meet-and-greet with local residents, community leaders, and guests from across the region. The event offered a relaxed, conversational atmosphere where Couvillon shared his priorities, listened to public concerns, and spoke about the importance of collaboration among neighboring North Georgia communities.
Among those in attendance were several notable local leaders, including Habersham County Sheriff Robin Krockum, Clarkesville’s newly-elected Mayor Franklin Brown, and Cornelia City Councilman Mark Reed. Their presence highlighted a spirit of regional cooperation—a theme Couvillon emphasized throughout the evening.
Mayor of Gainesville Sam Couvillon discusses what inspired him to run for congress.
Couvillon is campaigning for a seat in Georgia’s 9th Congressional District and will be challenging incumbent Representative Andrew Clyde in the upcoming primary next May. This added statewide ambitions to his local visit and gave attendees a chance to ask about how he envisions the district’s future.
Attendees had the chance to speak directly with Couvillon in small groups, discussing topics ranging from economic development and downtown revitalization to transportation needs and public safety. Guests enjoyed the opportunity to have face-to-face dialogue with public officials in an informal setting.
Couvillon’s visit comes at a time when many North Georgia communities—including Gainesville—are experiencing growth, new development pressures, and evolving economic landscapes. The mayor emphasized that maintaining the character and identity of local communities while supporting responsible progress remains a priority.
BALDWIN, Ga. — The City of Baldwin has announced a change in the role of Emily Woodmaster, who has served as the city’s Chief Administrative Officer for the past three years. The Baldwin City Council voted unanimously to convert Woodmaster’s position to that of an independent contractor, effective immediately.
Woodmaster’s last official day serving in her full-time administrative capacity will be tomorrow, November 7. However, she will continue to work with the city in an independent consulting role through December 31 to ensure continuity during the transition.
Woodmaster has played a key role in Baldwin’s day-to-day government operations. As Chief Administrative Officer, she has overseen all city services, coordinated with department heads, managed public communications, prepared the annual budget, and helped guide several ongoing infrastructure and development projects.
Before stepping into the CAO position, Woodmaster served as City Clerk for two years, bringing a total of five years of service to Baldwin’s municipal government.
Woodmaster’s continued involvement through the end of the year is intended to provide a smooth transition as the city evaluates next steps for administrative management heading into 2026.

During his remarks, Couvillon is expected to highlight:
The role of regional cooperation in strengthening Northeast Georgia,
His experience managing growth and economic development in Gainesville,
His goals for transportation, infrastructure, and public safety investment, and his approach to leadership and representation at the state level.

DEMOREST, GA — Piedmont University was awarded a $1,200 Vibrant Communities Grant from Georgia Council for the Arts, the Georgia Department of Economic Development team specialized in empowering arts and culture, for fiscal year 2026. The Vibrant Communities Grant supports a variety of arts programming throughout the state, including murals, artist residencies and performances in schools, community theater productions, festivals, and concerts.
As part of this year’s Vibrant Communities awards, 55 entities in 41 counties will receive $230,000 in funding.
“Georgia Council for the Arts is excited to support arts programming across the state that expands educational opportunities for students, attracts tourists who support small businesses, and cultivates vibrant communities,” said Georgia Council for the Arts Executive Director Tina Lilly. “These grants are vital in areas of the state that do not have local arts organizations and help communities harness the long-term benefits of the arts and improve quality of life for residents.”
Georgia Council for the Arts received applications from schools, libraries, cities, historical societies, community theaters, Boys & Girls Clubs, and arts and other related organizations. In an effort to support projects across the state, Vibrant Communities Grants were awarded to entities in counties in which no organization had already received Georgia Council for the Arts funding for the fiscal year 2026 grants cycle.
“This grant will allow us to offer another series of free workshops featuring beloved art educators from our community,” said Rebecca Brantley, Director of the Mason-Scharfenstein Museum of Art. “We had great turnout at last year’s workshops, and I am excited to see another round of classes led by new instructors. This year, we will host workshops led by Toccoa-based artist Normando Ismay, painter Kathleen Kollock, and Piedmont University alum Imani Spence. The workshops will be open to participants of all ages, though kids and teens will be the target audience.”
Grant funding is provided through appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly.

Habersham County Sheriff’s Office investigators have charged a Hall County man after a reported rolling domestic violence incident Monday afternoon.
Hayward Eugene Fuller, 65, of Gainesville, is charged with false imprisonment and possession of methamphetamine following his arrest outside a business on Toccoa Highway near Tom Arrendale Interchange.
Deputies were dispatched just after 5 p.m. Monday, November 3, to a reported carjacking in that area, but investigators say that resulted from confusion on the part of the uninvolved 9-1-1 caller.
The investigation revealed that a female victim in Fuller’s vehicle was being held against her will.
As Fuller and that female traveled down Toccoa Highway, there was an altercation between the two.
When the vehicle stopped at a business, he got out and the female victim got into the driver’s seat and fled from the male. Both individuals got other people to call 9-1-1.
Fuller had an older laceration scab on his arm and during the course of the altercation, it began to bleed leading one 9-1-1 caller to report a stabbing had occurred.
Deputies and other area law enforcement personnel responded to the initial business, then to a second nearby business where the female and vehicle were located.
During the investigation, a quantity of methamphetamine was located inside the vehicle by a K-9 unit.
Fuller was arrested and taken to the Habersham County Detention Center in Clarkesville, where he remained Tuesday afternoon.

The Habersham County community is mourning the loss of one of its most respected educators and leaders, Jerry Hooper, who passed away on October 30, 2025. Mrs. Hooper will be remembered not only for her many years of service in our schools, but also for the kindness, humor, patience, and steady guidance she offered to students and colleagues alike.
For many, Jerry Hooper is remembered first as a teacher — a heartfelt and gifted mathematics teacher who could turn even the most intimidating math lesson into something understandable. She believed deeply in the potential of young people, often reminding them that learning was never about perfection, but about persistence and believing in themselves. Across generations, former students recall her voice, her steady smile, and… the sound of her spike heels walking down the hallway and entering the classroom. Mrs. Hooper started her teaching career at South Habersham High School in the 1964-1965 school year. When North and South Habersham High Schools merged in 1970, she taught mathematics at Habersham Central High School until 1987. She then became assistant principal for North Habersham Jr. High in August 1988 and in December of that year was appointed as assistant principal at Habersham Central High School.

Her commitment to education did not stop at the classroom door. Hooper went on to serve the county as SchoolSuperintendent, a role in which she continued to lead with humility and grace. In 1992, Hooper defeated incumbent Dr. Lonnie Burns to become the last elected school superindendent in the school system. She worked tirelessly to support teachers, uplift students, and strengthen the schools that shape the fabric of our community. Her leadership style was gentle but firm, rooted in listening first and speaking with care. She never forgot what it meant to be a teacher — and never allowed policy to overshadow people.

Throughout her life, Jerry Hooper carried herself with warmth and an open heart. She was the kind of person who remembered names, asked about families, celebrated accomplishments, and encouraged others quietly and sincerely. Those who knew her describe her as genuine, grounded, and deeply devoted — to her work, to her family, to her faith, and to the community she loved.
Her legacy lives on in the thousands of students she taught, the teachers she mentored, and the schools she worked to strengthen. It lives on in the small everyday ways people think of her — a word of kindness, a lesson of patience, a reminder to treat others with dignity. Her influence is woven into the history of Habersham County, and it will continue to shape lives for years to come.
As we grieve her passing, we also give thanks for a life lived with purpose and a heart that touched so many. To Mrs. Hooper’s family, we offer our deepest sympathies and our sincere gratitude for sharing her with our community. May we honor her in the way we treat one another, the way we lift others up, and the way we commit ourselves to helping the next person learn and grow.
