Welcome to Barrow County Schools where our core purpose is to provide students with a "world class education... hometown values".  We are focused on putting the needs of Barrow County students at the forefront of every decision we make.

We will continue to focus on the following:

• Facilitating an environment and culture where high expectations, accountability, and support are the norm;
• Increasing student achievement for all students while simultaneously closing the student achievement gap through the utilization of targeted, research-based teaching and learning strategies and 21^st century technology;
• Building public trust and gaining commitment and confidence through open and honest communication;
• Taking responsive action to identified opportunities for the purpose of improving student achievement and district success; and
• Ensuring effective, efficient organizational and district governance through positive stakeholder relations and a commitment to collaborate in and among schools as well as with the community.

We are committed to providing the highest quality education possible for each student. We want our students to be competitive locally, nationally and internationally so they will lead successful, productive lives and become contributing citizens to our community. We are a team – students, parents, educators, and the community – working collectively to reach this common goal.
