The Habersham County School District is a public school district in Habersham County, Georgia, United States, based in Clarkesville. It serves the communities of Alto, Baldwin, Clarkesville, Cornelia, Demorest, Mount Airy, Raoul, and Tallulah Falls.
The Habersham County School District has eight elementary schools, three middle schools, and two high schools.
North Habersham High School was in Clarkesville, Georgia, and originally served the northern part of the county. NHHS's mascot was the Bobcat and its colors were black and gold. This facility was demolished in the late 2000s; the site would be used for the new Habersham County Superior Court courthouse, completed in 2014. It is located on 295 Llewellyn Street in Clarkesville, Georgia.
South Habersham High School was located in Cornelia, Georgia and served the southern part of the county. SHHS's mascot was the Rebels and its colors were red and gray. This facility was demolished in the late 1990s; the site would be used for the new Cornelia Elementary school building completed in the early 2000s.
Habersham Central High School's first classes began in the late summer of 1970, graduating its first class in June 1971. HCHS was formed by the consolidation of the previous two high schools – North Habersham and South Habersham High School.
Upon forming the new school in 1970, the students voted on silver and blue as their school colors and a Raider as their mascot. HCHS originally had no football field or auditorium.
Sung to the tune of "Dedicatory Overture" (1:38 - 2:55) composed by Clifton Williams, 1964.
