About Our District

About Us

Established in 1857, our school district has grown from  48 one or two room schoolhouses countywide to 17 strategically placed campuses.  We serve close to 7,000 students in grades PreK-12th and employ over 1,500 highly qualified faculty and staff members.  All of our 17 of our K-12 schools are Marzano Level 1 and 2 certified and working towards level 3.  Several of our schools are CLAS Tier 1 or 2 certified and we have multiple National Blue Ribbon Schools.

We strive to provide a diverse educational experience for our students, preparing them for a successful and productive future.  Whether it be be offering robotics and STEM classes in our primary grades, offering real world career training at our Walker County Center of Technology (soon to become Heman Drummond Center of Innovation) to working hand in hand with Bevill State Community College to offer dual enrollment classes in several career fields.  

Regardless of what path our students decide to take in life, we are determined in educating the whole child, preparing them for a successful future by offering  multiple opportunities to achieve academically, athletically and a responsible member of our communities.
