Candler County Schools is a proud supporter of "rec ball" because it can teach the fundamentals of a sport in a fun atmosphere so that a child is ready to be a Tiger player when they reach Middle or High School.
First Chapter Fridays are held every Friday in Metter Middle School's 6th Grade ELA (English) classes. We ask community members to volunteer to read the first chapter of your favorite book (or we can choose one for you) to the class and tell them a little about yourself!

Candler County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 15 to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We encourage you to attend the annual Metter MLK Day Parade at 2 pm in the downtown area.
The Candler County School District plans to operate on a normal schedule for Tuesday, January 9. With the timing of the storm, we feel students may be safer inside the school buildings and the storm should be passed by the time school ends as they predict it is moving very quickly. However, we will continue to monitor the weather and will keep you updated through social media, our websites, and through our mass communication text/call/email system. We hope that everyone will be safe as this storm passes through our area.
