The goal of the program is to identify and hire the best and brightest minority educators, not only from West Tennessee but from across the state. The administrators of the Lauderdale County School System are also strong supporters of ongoing teacher training. As a result, most teachers have completed more than the required number of inservice hours. The Lauderdale County School System's facilities are among the best in Tennessee. Most schools are less than 10 years old and are in new and in like-new condition.
All schools have central heat and air.
Every school has a gymnasium or playroom and all classrooms are spacious and well-lit. The Lauderdale County community's dedication to meeting the educational needs of its children is strongly represented by its commitment to build new schools. The system has now completed an extensive building and renovation program. The counseling program in the Lauderdale County Schools seeks to guide the students toward the most productive emotional social growth possible. The guidance counselors are a group of professionals who utilize their ability to enable students to function effectively in our complex society.
