Catoosa County School System Calendar 2026–2027

Catoosa County School System combines three comprehensive high-school communities—Heritage, Lakeview–Fort Oglethorpe and Ringgold—with more than one elementary design. Some children attend a full K–5 elementary school, while the Battlefield and Ringgold areas use separate primary and elementary campuses. Among the district’s 9,835 K–12 students, the first building change depends on the local feeder pattern even before the three secondary clusters become relevant.

The district directory also includes Catoosa Online Academy and the From HERE to CAREER College and Career Academy. Catoosa Online Academy serves grades six through twelve, but students remain enrolled in their home schools and may continue participating in those schools’ extracurricular activities. Applications are handled through the base school, and state testing is administered there. The online academy therefore operates as an instructional extension of the three home-school systems, with students retaining their base-school connections.

The College and Career Academy draws students from all three high schools for career and dual-enrollment work. Barnhardt Academy is another 6–12 entry in the district directory, but it likewise does not create a fourth neighborhood cluster. Neither setting should be counted as an additional comprehensive high-school cluster. Catoosa is best read in layers: elementary configuration, Heritage/Lakeview–Fort Oglethorpe/Ringgold home assignment, and then any online, career or specialized placement that modifies part of the student’s program.
