Heard County is located in west-central part of Georgia bordering Alabama.
Heard County, Georgia is a close-knit, rural community centered around the city of
Franklin. It features a small public school system deeply integrated into local life,
emphasizing strong community pride, strong local support for education, and a traditional
small-town atmosphere. Superintendent Mike Roberts has effectively led the district for
several years and plans to retire.
The district has over 2200 students who are served by one high school, one middle
school, and three elementary schools. The goal of the district is to
provide the best education for their students in order for them to have as many options
available to them as possible upon graduation. The community and staff believe in
preparing their students for life!
