On behalf of our school community, I welcome you to Liberty County! All Liberty County schools are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as well as the Georgia Accrediting Commission. We serve all public school students in Liberty County with the exception of those students grades K-6 who live on Fort Stewart. Almost 11,000 students are served in modern facilities that include: one Pre-Kindergarten center, eight elementary schools, three middle schools, two high schools, Coastal Academy, a tri-county psychoeducational center, and two Ombudsman alternative programs for middle and high school students. Our Division of Exceptional Learning provides a wide range of services for every special needs exceptionality. Primarily due to the presence of Ft. Stewart, approximately 50% of our student population is federally connected. All facilities are equipped with the latest technology that is integrated into the curriculum to support student learning and to optimize academic achievement. Middle and high school students are afforded the opportunity to participate in a multitude of extracurricular activities. High school students may choose from a college preparatory track, technical/career track, or a dual track diploma. All students are encouraged to pursue a rigorous program of study which leads to employment, whether that career begins after high school or after additional postsecondary training. The Liberty County Board of Education office is located at 110 South Gause Street in Hinesville and our phone number is (912) 876-2161. For more details about our progressive school system, please visit our website at http://www.liberty.k12.ga.us/. Sincerely, Dr. Steve Wilmoth School Superintendent
