Application Window Now Open For Cherokee County Pre-K

CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA — The application window for Cherokee County's pre-K program lottery begins Monday and continues through March 12.

The lottery drawing will be March 17 for the 2021-22 school year of the program, which will offer Georgia Lottery Pre-K classes for 4-year-olds at Ball Ground Elementary School STEM Academy, Hasty Elementary School Fine Arts Academy, Oak Grove Elementary School Fine Arts Academy, R.M. Moore Elementary School STEM Academy and Johnston Elementary School Preschool Center

The early start provides parents time to seek options should their 4-year-old not win a spot in the lottery drawing for the program’s limited seats. Cherokee County's Ralph Bunche Center also offers pre-K classes. Space is limited and wait lists are common, but parents can search for all available lottery-funded Pre-K slots at private providers in their area online.
