Superintendent of Schools
The Houston County Board of Education extends to you and your family a warm welcome to Houston County. Our school system provides educational services for approximately 27,000 students on 38 campuses that are conducive to quality learning.
Our students excel in many areas, outperforming state and national test averages, winning academic competitions and earning sports championships. Our schools and employees have garnered numerous state and national awards for outstanding achievements. Our faculties and staff members continually strive to improve and work to take our system to even greater heights.
Our mission is to produce high-achieving students, and our vision is that our school system will be world-class. Our values are:
· Safety is our number one priority.
· Failure is not an option. We do expect that all children can learn.
· We will not be satisfied until all of our schools meet or exceed the highest academic standards.
· We are committed to determining what each child needs to fulfill his or her potential.
· We take responsibility for learning, not only for our students but also for ourselves.
· We are not afraid of change and will embrace change that is research-based and proven to be effective.
We look forward to meeting you and your children and hope that you will become involved in our schools. If you need any assistance, please feel free to call on the Houston County Board of Education.
Sincerely,
Dr. James R. Hines, Jr.
Superintendent of Schools
