Public Hearing Tonight on Proposed Middle School Rezoning
Perry, GA · September 21, 2026
Morning fog is sitting thick over the pine trees early, but expect a bright, warm stretch once the sun breaks through. Grab your morning coffee and clear your evening if school attendance zones touch your household.
The Lead
The Houston County School District opens the floor tonight at 6:00 PM in the Perry Middle School cafeteria, hosting the first in a series of community hearings on sweeping attendance zone adjustments. Rapid residential growth across the county has prompted planners to redraw district lines ahead of the 2027–2028 school year, directly impacting more than 900 elementary and middle schoolers.
For local households, the biggest shift involves moving 205 Perry Middle students to Veterans Middle School and reassigning 35 others to Mossy Creek Middle to balance class sizes and streamline feeder patterns into high school. District leaders will present detailed neighborhood maps and take feedback directly from affected families before submitting final recommendations. The Board of Education plans to cast its decisive vote during its October 6 session at the central office on Main Street.
