Academics

We provide a world-class educational experience, from early childhood through high school, that meets the diverse learning needs of all students in our county.

Culture of Care

We believe children are people before they are students. Students are best able to learn if they are socially, emotionally, and physically healthy.

Personnel

We believe there are two positions in our district: teachers and those who support teachers. We believe in recruiting, developing, and retaining the best team for students by hiring adults who possess a diversity of thought, skills, and experience.

Safety

Before students can learn and teachers can teach, they must be safe. Student safety has always been our #1 priority and always will be.

We know educating the next generation can only be accomplished as a community and are proud that our schools are one reason why Cobb County is one of the best places to live, learn, work, and play in the country.

Technology

We know supporting students who both know and can do demands we provide innovative tools which support teaching, leading, and learning.

Communication

We believe families who are informed about their student's learning leads to a community which is engaged. Students are successful when supported by high-quality teachers and an engaged community.

Finance

We believe sustainable financial decisions which put as much money as close to the classroom as possible lead to the best decisions and resources for students.
