Quitman School Dist

What Quitman School Dist does

Quitman School District is a public K-12 school district operated under the oversight of the Mississippi Department of Education, serving the residents of Clarke County, Mississippi. The district encompasses five physical campuses: Quitman Lower Elementary (PreK-2), Quitman Upper Elementary, Quitman Junior High (grades 6-8), Quitman High School (grades 9-12), and the Clarke County Career and Technology Center (CCCTC). The CCCTC offers seven specialized career and technical education programs — Culinary Arts (ProStart), Education Prep, Forestry, Health Science, Law & Public Safety, Television Broadcasting Production, and Adult Education CNA training — supplemented by national student organizations including HOSA, FFA, SkillsUSA, FCCLA, TSA, and Educators Rising.

The district's technology stack is built on Google For Education for staff and student productivity, Promethean ActivPanel interactive displays for instructional delivery, HP and Lenovo Chromebooks in a 1:1 device model, Swivl cameras for classroom capture and teacher professional development, and Common Sense Media curriculum for CIPA-compliant digital citizenship training. Day-to-day operations are supported by SchoolCafe for meal payment management, Parchment for transcript services, NFHS Network for athletic broadcasting, and Kelly Education for substitute teacher staffing. Revenue is derived from state appropriations, local property taxes, federal E-rate funding, and nominal meal fees ($1.50-$3.00 at non-CEP schools; elementary schools operate under the Community Eligibility Provision providing free meals). Dr. Minnie Dace serves as Superintendent. The district is a government entity — not an investable company — and operates as a captive, non-commercial education provider with no material revenue concentration risks.
