About one hundred students attend Fannin County Mountain Education Charter High School. Our students attend for a variety of reasons. We provide a supportive place for students to learn. We also encourage our students to continue with their education by attending a post-secondary institution. Many of our students go on to technical colleges as well as four-year universities. We offer college field trips, educational speakers and scholarships to help achieve this goal.
