School Zoning
The Houston County School District is a community-based school district, where students attend school in the zone in which they reside. You can review the school zones at https://www.hcbe.net/zoning. However, House Bill 224 (HB 224) allows active-duty military members who live in base housing the option to request a school transfer for their child beginning on 1 July each summer or within ten school days of the member moving into base housing and enrolling their child in school. Please note that approval is not guaranteed; however, the school district does their best to accommodate our military families. Note: Military families who reside off base do not have the option to send your children to any other school than the one you are zoned for.
School zone maps can be found at the Houston County School District’s zoning page at: https://www.hcbe.net/zoning.
