Schools K-12The people of Salem and Dent County recognize the importance of educating our children to become the leaders and citizens of the future. Dent County is served by five public school districts, each with separate school boards. Our students gain a broad educational experience, with opportunities to explore the arts, music, math, science, physical education, computers, and much more. Area students have been perennial winners of academic competitions, and our high school sports program has for decades been a regional powerhouse, with many students going on to college on athletic scholarships. Parents are deeply involved in their children’s education, and the community takes great pride in its excellent facilities, faculty, and administrators.
There is also a strong support network among home school families in the area.
