About
The Morgan County Schools enroll approximately 3300 students on five campuses. Children who attend two of the 7 Lottery Pre-School Programs in Morgan County are housed at Morgan County Primary School. Those 40 children and all children in Morgan County enrolled in grades K-2 attend the primary school at 993 East Avenue in Madison. Children enrolled in grades 3-5 attend Morgan County Elementary School at 1640 Buckhead Road. Middle school students in grades 6-8 attend the newly remodeled and expanded Morgan County Middle School located on the north side of town at 920 Pearl Street in Madison. Morgan County High School serves young adults from ninth grade to graduation at 1231 College Drive in Madison. Morgan County CrossRoads School is located at 1551 Bethany Road in Madison and serves students who need an alternative form of instructional delivery in grades 6-12. The campuses of the primary, elementary and high schools are parts of an original tract of land with a few later extensions that once housed the Madison Agricultural and Mechanical School in the early 20th century. When the school was closed, the state deeded the land to the Morgan County Schools and the Madison A&M President, Mr. J.E. Owens, became the Superintendent of Morgan County Schools.. In 1970 the smaller schools that dotted the county were all consolidated into the schools located in Madison. With anticipated population growth, the Board of Education recently accepted a donated tract of 44 acres just outside Rutledge, Georgia from Mr. Jim Conrads and his family. That tract of land is designated as the site for an additional elementary school, grades K-5, that will be built when current buildings are outgrown. Morgan County is proud of the excellent reputation that its schools enjoy throughout the state and is committed to continual improvement. The Board of Education works with the administration, faculty, students, parents and community to compose and implement a system-wide strategic plan. The planning began in 1995 and has evolved into a regular process that evaluates where the system is and what needs to be done over the next 3-5 years to improve. Each school has a School Improvement Plan to supplement and complement that system plan, and the annual evaluation of each administrator is tied to the goals that are set from those plans. Two weeks of Intersession are provided to students in the Morgan County schools. The week in October and the week in March allow students to receive extra remedial support in needed areas, as well as an opportunity for credit recovery at the high school. These weeks are also used for college visits and lengthy field trips abroad or across state lines, as well as for in-depth studies for students at locations such as Tybee Island. Art, music and physical education are considered necessary, core subjects in Morgan County from kindergarten through 12th grade. Spanish is taught to students K-8th grade, and French and Spanish are offered in grades 9-12. The arts are a vital part of this community, and our children's work and performances are frequently part of cultural celebrations in the county. The county schools and the county recreation department have an excellent partnership to share facilities and to offer opportunities for all our students, primarily those aged 5-14, to participate in athletic opportunities. At Morgan County Middle School, competitive athletics begin in the school system. Football, soccer, softball, basketball, baseball, wrestling, golf, tennis, and track are offered there. Morgan County High School adds cross county competition to the list in addition to the other sports begun in middle grades. Morgan County High School offers a wide variety of opportunities for our students in grades 9-12. A ninth grade academy serves students who are enrolled in the ninth grade for the first time. It offers a year-long transition from middle grades to the high school with a personalized approach to education delivered primarily in one hall of the building with a team approach to instruction in the core subjects: English, math, science and social studies. Vocational, physical education, and elective courses such as band, computers, chorus, and art are offered after lunch in other locations on the campus. The International Baccalaureate Program officially began in the fall of 2004. Colleges and universities give admissions preference to students who graduate with an IB diploma, and it has raised academic standards for our students to a much more advanced level. A math-science academy began in the fall of 2005 for 11th and 12th grade students who wish to pursue careers that require advanced knowledge in these areas. Morgan County High School offers Advanced Placement courses through traditional teacher-led classroom experiences as well as through the Georgia Virtual School. Thirteen AP courses are offered during the 2007-2008 school year. In the 2006-2007 school year, 311 of 988 (31%) of MCHS students were enrolled in one or more advanced level courses.
