FAQ

  • We began a phased reopening for Apalachee High School on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024.

    From Sept. 24 – Oct. 4, students attended school for half days to help them ease back into the routine at a comfortable pace. Students returned to full days after Fall Break on Oct. 14, 2024.

    We will have an increase in law enforcement presence along with additional counselors, therapy dogs, and other resources.
    J Hall will be inaccessible and remain closed for the rest of the school year. We have temporarily arranged for all Social Studies classes to be held in a nearby Barrow County School System building on Star St. Buses will take students to and from those locations. This is temporary until new classroom pods arrive on campus, anticipated by January 2025.
    We offered an Open House at both locations on Monday, Sept. 23 to welcome families back to AHS.
