ABOUT FULTON

The Fulton County School System is unique in terms of geography.  From its southern end in Chattahoochee Hills to its northernmost tip in Johns Creek, the county is more than 70 miles long. Fulton's uniqueness comes from the fact that the City of Atlanta is located in the geographic center of the county and has its own school system and its own Board of Education. The result is that the Fulton County School System is physically bisected by the City of Atlanta and its school system.  While this wedge often leads to references of north Fulton and south Fulton; there is only one Fulton County School System.

We are a county of cities.  Not counting Atlanta, 13 cities reside within our borders.  The southern part of Fulton County is comprised of Chattahoochee Hills, College Park, East Point, Fairburn, Hapeville, Palmetto and Union City. The northern part is home to Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park, Roswell and Sandy Springs.
