About Union County Schools
Union County Schools enrolled 2,897 K–12 students in two markedly different mountain routes. Most students in and around Blairsville move through Union County Primary, Union County Elementary, Union County Middle and Union County High. Students in the remote Suches community can remain at Woody Gap School, a K–12 campus that preserves a complete local path in the northern mountains.
Woody Gap is more than an unusually broad grade span. Its small setting supports outdoor learning, close cross-age organization and access to dual enrollment while allowing Suches students to avoid a daily move into the Blairsville ladder. The district’s College and Career Academy provides shared career opportunities across both routes.
A Union County family first determines whether the home lies in the Blairsville age-banded route or the Woody Gap service area. Both belong to Union County Schools, yet they organize the entire K–12 experience in fundamentally different ways.
