Who We Are….
The Fairfield County School District's faculty, staff, and administration are committed to fostering a culture of competence, collaboration, trust, and respect. Our goal is to attract and retain highly qualified educators and provide them with opportunities to develop expertise in effective and engaging instructional practices. Teachers and principals are encouraged to share ideas and strategies that result in significant academic growth for students. We understand the importance of building trust with parents and the wider community. Our focus is always on the best interests of our students, and we welcome input and participation from the community. We invite you to join us in the exciting educational experience offered by the Fairfield County School District.
Fairfield County School District is an exciting place for students to learn. The district provides a 1:16 student-teacher ratio and a wide variety of academic offerings to promote student achievement. The district leads approximately 3,000 students; large enough to offer progressive programs yet small enough to allow teachers the chance to cultivate a personal and active interest in each student.
Where We Are ….
Fairfield County is located twenty-five minutes north of Columbia, SC (the state’s capital) and fifty minutes south of Charlotte, NC; 2 hours east to the coast and 2 hours west to the Blue Ridge Mountains. The population of Fairfield is slightly over 23,000 residents. Fairfield comprises four main towns: Winnsboro, Ridgeway, Blair, and Jenkinsville.
Fairfield County has many historic attractions to include, but not limited to: The South Carolina Railroad Museum, Winnsboro Town Clock, and the Fairfield County Courthouse. Fairfield is known as an aquatic paradise, waters around the county with Broad River and Lake Monticello on the western border and Lake Wateree on the eastern border. Many residents and employees enjoy visiting the beautiful lakes, museums, recreation facilities, antique and craft shops, festivals, plays, and more. Fairfield County School District is a wonderful place to work. The small community offers a warm, caring, and supportive environment. Teachers and administrators are committed to involving all stakeholders in the education of each student.
