A huge congratulations to all our staff who help play a part in this success. From primary level teachers to high school teachers, from our advanced level teachers to our teachers of struggling learners, and everyone in between - WE ALL HAVE A PART TO PLAY!
Thank you to our bus drivers who get our students to and from school each day, and for many of our students, they are the first adult they see each morning!
To our nutrition staff who ensures our students are well fed to be able to learn, and to our maintenance/custodial staff who ensures that our students have a safe, clean, and comfortable learning environment.
To our technology department who makes sure teachers and students have optimal learning environments with working technology.
To our administrators and support staff who spend countless hours behind the scenes making sure that our teachers and staff have a safe, productive learning environment. To our central office staff who ensures that needs at the schools are taken care of, so others can focus on the priority of teaching and learning, and to our Board of Education who supports all of us and goes above and beyond to make sure Oglethorpe County is the best school system we can have!
While our four year graduation rate is impressive, I am particularly proud of the five year graduation rate. These students could have dropped out or could have taken a different path, but they showed grit and returned to complete their course work for this important milestone - their high school graduation!
Thank YOU again to the teachers, coaches, and all staff members who helped guide and mentor our students.

For those students who still do not have power, we can bus kids to the high school to get hot showers, if they want.
