Communications Department

The communications and public relations team is focused on building relationships with students, parents, staff and the community through effective communication. Our goal is to celebrate and elevate Barrow County School System. We recognize that communicating effectively with parents and the community is critical for the success of the district and its students.

With a focus on sharing important information and district news with our stakeholders, our team manages print and online publications, email newsletters, the district website, social media channels, media relations, video production and district events.
