As a public school system, the School District of Oconee County serves the community of Oconee County. To all in our community, we say:

THANK YOU, Oconee County!

Thank you to those whose roots run deep, who have lived in our "Golden Corner" for most, if not all, of your lives; those who graduated from one of our schools and stayed, realizing our county had big potential for a happy life. Thank you to those who have moved to Oconee County to start a business, raise a family, or put down roots. Thanks to town, city, and county officials for their work in governing our communities. Together, we have made Oconee County what it is today - an amazing place to live, work and play.
