The Oconee County School Board met last night in Watkinsville, looking at a school attendance zoning plan that will leave the feeder schools for Oconee County and North Oconee high schools as they are now. The Board also signed off on a plan to open the new Dove Creek Middle School in the fall of next year.

Plan Overview
At the Sept. 12, 2022 Board of Education meeting, a proposed redistricting plan was presented to address continued growth in Oconee County Schools. In addition, the plan was designed to prepare for the opening of Dove Creek Middle School in Fall 2023.
“Over the last decade, our district has grown nearly 30%. This growth is a reflection of the incredible achievement of our students and the hard work of our teachers, support staff and administrators, parents, and community,” said Superintendent Jason Branch. “We are very fortunate to be a part of the #1 school district in the state. With continued growth and the opening of Dove Creek Middle School next fall, the proposed redistricting plan is designed to comprehensively address the needs of our school system community for future students and families.”
Highlights of the plan include:
- Feeder schools and attendance zones for OCHS and NOHS remain the same.
- Elementary schools are balanced for future growth.
- School choice is available next year for all students in grades K-12.
- Over 92% of students are not impacted by the proposed redistricting plan.
