Habersham County school system is comprised of 14
schools over 1,000 staff
members and nearly 7,000 students
and we are supported by a strong community
and by parents who value the education
of their children.
Together we are one team with one mission
success for all students.
With this mission serving as the school systems guiding light
the Habersham team has capitalized on
its strength and has increased the expectations
of what's possible for its students. So how much
has the school system accomplished in recent years?
In 2017 Habersham Central High School had
a record graduation rate of 94.9%
that was more than 14 points above
the state average and it was the school system's
best year ever for student attendance with the rate
of 95.5%.
On the state Milestones assessments Habersham County ranked among
the top 10 most improved school systems in Georgia.
Their College and Career Readiness score
also exceeded the state average by more than five points.
Three of their schools were named award schools
by the Governor's Office of Student Achievement scoring
in the 93rd percentile for greatest
gains in the statewide accountability system.
To further a commitment to college readiness the Habersham
County Board of Education approved the prestigious
AP Capstone program to bolster
an already successful AP placement program and
provide students with more opportunities when applying
to colleges. All of these accomplishments
are complemented by exceptional programs in the areas
of Fine Arts, Athletics, and
Agriculture Education. The school system has
also made great strides in the area of Technology. They're
currently upgrading the network in all schools
and are pursuing a one-to-one Chromebook
initiative for all students. As
you can see we have much to be proud of!
