Schley County, Ga., schools No. 1 for college enrollment

This is big: Schley County schools are No. 1 in the state for college enrollment by graduates. This, at least, is what I gather from an email sent out by John T. Greene, coordinator of Schley County Family Connection. 

If it's true, this needs to be shouted from the rooftops. (If you need a rooftop of your own, I will sell you one.)

The school system has, more than any other one thing, put Schley County on the map and turned it into a destination for new residents. Numerous new houses have been built to accommodate the newcomers who have enrolled their children in Schley County schools. The system's reputation for excellence is top-notch. And now this latest accolade reinforces an already sterling rep. 

Past and present Schley County school administrators, staff and faculty deserve much praise for their good work. And let's not forget the students themselves, who take education seriously and strive to be the best they can be. They have much to be proud of.
