Rich in history and located in a small, quaint, and friendly community, Centralhatchee Elementary School is a wonderful place to learn.  There has been a school in Centralhatchee since the early part of this century.  In the early years, students from the surrounding communities boarded long buses (back then it was old trucks with benches and seats) to go to the two high schools in the county. These high schools were Franklin and Centralhatchee. 

Today, nestled underneath huge shade trees, a fast Novell computer network connects students and staff in Pre-K-5 classrooms.  Students are actively involved in Accelerated Reading, Accelerated Math, the Georgia Association of Educators Spelling Bee, as well as, enrichment activities in the classroom.  Additionally, students participate in programs such as Book-It, Jump Rope for Heart, 600-Minute Reading Program, and various other activities which encourage students to achieve.

In addition to the regular curriculum, classes are offered in physical education, music, art, and computer.  Classes for gifted students, remedial education, and special education are available.  The Media Center provides students, faculty, and staff with current reading materials and assistance with computer, resource, and research skills.  Educational satellite and cable television programs air on the school's distribution system to enhance the educational experience of each student.

A very active Parent-Teacher Organization and School Council ensure that parental involvement is encouraged.  Centralhatchee Elementary prides itself in offering a pleasant learning environment for the students.
