What Monroe County Schools does

It serves students from Pre-K through 12th grade through six campuses: Mary Persons High School, Monroe County Middle School, three elementary schools (Samuel E. Hubbard, T.G. Scott, and Katherine B. Sutton), and the Monroe County Achievement Center. The district delivers a Georgia Standards of Excellence-aligned academic curriculum augmented by 12 Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) pathways, STEM programming, fine arts at the Monroe County Fine Arts Center, athletics, gifted education, special education for ages 3-21, ESOL, and a Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework.

The district's technology stack is built on Google Workspace for Education and Google Classroom for digital instruction, Infinite Campus for student information and online enrollment, and a set of single-purpose integrations including STOPit for anonymous safety reporting, SchoolCafe for meal payments and free/reduced applications, GoFan for athletic event ticketing, BusPlanner/Chipmunk for transportation tracking, and Apptegy as the website platform. A 1:1 student-to-device ratio underpins the remote learning capability used during weather and emergency closures. The district earned Georgia Math Leader and Georgia Literacy Leader recognition for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years and reports a 93.8% graduation rate and a #14 ranking among Georgia school districts.

Revenue is government-sourced through state Quality Basic Education allocations, local property taxes, and federal programs (Title I, Title II-A, IDEA, USDA nutrition), supplemented by nominal school meal fees. The customer base is the student population of Monroe County, with enrollment governed by residential zoning and Board of Education policy prohibiting out-of-county attendance. The district is governed by a seven-member elected Board of Education and led by Superintendent Dr. Jim Finch; it does not operate under traditional corporate ownership and is not subject to PE/VC investment.
