Student Photo ID Badge Policy

You may have heard from your student that Banks County High School is now requiring all students to wear photo ID badges throughout the school day. 

Photo IDs allow our staff to instantly identify anyone who belongs on campus—and quickly flag anyone who does not. In an emergency, clear identification also helps first responders assist students faster and more accurately.

Driver's Education Application Info

Students interested in taking Driver's Education during the Spring 2027 semester can pick up a Driver's Ed Application from the front office beginning October 12th.

Applications must be completed and returned to the front office before the end of the school day on Friday, November 6th. Placement in the class will be based on attendance, academic standing (grades and credits), discipline record, age of student, and submission date—not necessarily in that order.

Additional Important Reminders

  1. Dual Enrollment: The deadline for students not previously in Dual Enrollment to sign up for a parent meeting to begin Dual Enrollment in the spring is October 23rd. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. Loggins.

  2. FAFSA Night: There will be a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) Completion Event on Thursday, November 5th. Parents and students can drop in between 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM to receive assistance in completing the 2027–2028 FAFSA for college financial aid.

  3. Apply to College & UNG Instant Decision Day: On November 13th, students can apply to any college of their choice with assistance from school counselors. Many colleges in Georgia waive application fees in November. A representative from the University of North Georgia (UNG) will also be on hand to make instant admission decisions.

  4. Community Production: Don't miss out on this year's production of Annie Jr. from December 3rd–6th. More details coming soon!
