Welcome to the Sequatchie County School System web site. This school system is a unified school district with three schools, governed by eight school board members who are elected by district and a superintendent appointed by the school board. Sequatchie County is located within the beautiful Sequatchie Valley nestled between the picturesque bluffs of the Cumberland Plateau approximately 30 miles northwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Rich in history and tradition, the area abounds with natural beauty. Waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and forests make this a favorite spot for hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, canoeing, sail planes, and hang gliding. Dunlap, the county seat is often referred to as “The Southern Gateway to Fall Creek Falls State Park.”
Farming and coal mining, once a traditional industry in this pastoral valley, has given way to a diverse business community, dedicated to economic progress and opportunity for its children. Commerce includes manufacturing, retail, and tourist interest. Many residents work in the greater Chattanooga area. Additionally the county is served by many churches, a public health department, ambulance and rescue services, a 24 hour medical center, a public library, and a chamber of commerce.
