Education
The public school system
is under the leadership of an elected Board of Education and an appointed
Superintendent of Schools. The system includes one primary school (K-2),
three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. Gilmer High
School offers a full academic program as well as an extensive vocational
education program. Also available to high school students is the Gilmer Christian Learning Center, which
provides a non-denominational Christian ministry to teens, based on a
concept known as released time for religious education. Competitive sports
include basketball, football, wrestling, tennis, baseball, and track. In
addition, students participate in District Literary Meets; and many students
are involved in band, chorus, and drama. Student organizations offer
additional opportunities to grow and learn. Gilmer County is a member of the North Georgia
Regional Educational Services Agency (RESA), which provides administrative,
and curriculum services, as well as cooperative purchasing, to schools in
Gilmer, Cherokee, Pickens, Fannin, and Murray Counties, and to the Dalton City System.
