Education Report Card Gets A+

 Welcome to Liberty County and to the Liberty County School system.  Our goal is to provide a quality education to every student in a safe, secure environment.

 The Liberty County School System is composed of eight elementary (k-5), three middle (6-8), and two high schools (9-12).  In addition, we have a Pre-K center which serves 4 year old students through the Georgia Pre-K program and the Ombudsman alternative education program for middle and high school students.  We serve all public school students in Liberty County with the exception of those students in grades K-6 who live on Fort Stewart.

 Almost 11,000 students are served in modern facilities that house well-trained teachers, competent administrators, and state of the art technology. The latest technology is integrated into the curriculum to support student learning and to optimize academic achievement.  Students are offered a variety of learning opportunities to support and supplement the core curriculum including art, music, and physical education. Our Division of Exceptional Learning provides a wide range of services to meet the needs of students with every exceptionality.  The gifted program serves those qualified students who desire enrichment and expansion of their knowledge.

 Primarily due to the presence of Ft. Stewart, approximately 50% of our student population is federally connected.  We especially welcome our military families who enrich the culture of our schools and work to make their transitions as smooth as possible.

 All Liberty County Schools are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as well as the Georgia Accrediting Commission.

 The Liberty County Board of Education office is located at 200 Bradwell Street in Hinesville and our phone number is (912) 876-2161.  For more details about our schools, programs, and assistance, please visit our website at http://www.liberty.k12.ga.us

Sincerely,

Dr. Judy Scherer, Superintendent

"Excellence is Everything!"

 Highly-trained teachers, modern, well-equipped schools--many built in the last few years for our growing county--and a community that supports and demands quality education await students in the Liberty County School System and the Fort Stewart School System.

Army Education Center

 The Army Learning Center (ALC) is a high-tech, multimedia, and computer resource facility providing an integrated network of training and educational resources to support the Army Continuing Education System, the Army Training System, and Civilian Personnel Training and Development. This facility is designated as a primary delivery point for individualized or small group based instruction. The ALC provides commanders the training and educational support resources necessary to help meet mission-related training and educational advancement. The ALC provides instruction, information, or advice on the use of ALC resources and maintains publications to support training in the assigned MOSs. In addition, a wide variety of study programs are available to include basic and advanced academic skills, AFCT (GT) improvement, college level examination programs review, preparation for college entrance exams, effective study skills programs, and others. The goal is to provide a "One-Stop Training Support Facility" for commanders and their soldiers. In addition, a full-time MOS Facilitator/Computer Monitor works directly with clients in identifying and accessing appropriate training materials, conducting training, and coordinating facilities for specific training needs.

The Army's plan is to "Take Training to the Soldier!".  Technology is being used to maintain an edge in projecting, protecting, sustaining and employing combat readiness. The Army Distance Learning Program (ADLP) has revolutionized the use of technology for education and training. The Army Training Digital Library (ATDL) allows internet access to digitized publications (FMs, ARs, TMs, etc.) and Training Support Packages. Army modernization training consists of a wide variety of training initiatives to include Army Distance Learning, Train the Trainer, Internet, CD-ROM, Video teletraining, and interactive software. As equipment and training programs are identified and developed, the ALC will be used to facilitate and deliver this training support.
