Jasper Offering Two Community Schools

This school year, 2022-2023, Jasper County School District is operating two K-12 Campuses. There is a K-12 Campus in Hardeeville and a K-12 Campus in Ridgeland. In other words, Jasper County School District offers community schools. To culminate this transition, each K-12 Complex received new lettering to properly identify each K-12 Campus and its schools.

Dedicated Professional Educators Doing Extraordinary Things

Mrs. Paige Elmore, Director of Special Education, and Mrs. Melissa Lane, Special Education Coordinator and Instructional Coach, from the first day of school, July 25, 2022, have stepped up and ensured all Special Education classes had a certified teacher providing instruction to the scholars. In the event that a certified teacher wasn't available or had not yet arrived, Mrs. Elmore and Mrs. Lane taught the class. Ensuring that the best educational opportunity is provided to all students, Mrs. Elmore and Mrs. Lane, stepped up to Superintendent Anderson's request and opened another 3-4 year old SPED class on the Hardeeville Campus. Previously, the district only offered one class and it was on the Ridgeland Campus. Now, both the Ridgeland and Hardeeville Campuses serve 3-4 year old SPED students.
