Banks County Schools
Welcome to Banks County and Banks County Schools. Our schools seek to provide a challenging academic curriculum that prepares every student for a productive life. In partnership with parents and the greater community, we aspire to foster in every student a desire for lifelong learning, a commitment to personal fitness, an appreciation of the arts, a deep-rooted understanding of right and wrong, and a desire to participate responsibly in a free and democratic society.
The Banks County School System is embraced by a progressive community that supports a quality education for all students. The community has shown support with the passage of three Educational Local Option Sales Taxes (ELOSTs). This funding has resulted in the completion of a new high school, stadium, field house, state of the art middle school and elementary school, additions to the primary school, and new bus maintenance facility.
The small community atmosphere is one of the strengths of the school system. The faculty and staff provide a caring, nurturing, challenging, and supportive environment. The size of the system allows for early intervention on the behalf of students who may need more individualized instruction. The enormous growth in student population brings many challenges and opportunities, but the Banks County School System is committed to leading the state in student achievement.
We will accomplish this goal by working together.
