our district
The White Hall School District is located in the northern portion of
Jefferson County. It is composed of approximately 104 square miles of urban,

and the outstanding school system has resulted in many new homes being

The school district enrollment consists of approximately fifty percent

instructional program of the district.
The White Hall School District strives to meet the needs of all students
by creating an atmosphere which allows for the realization of each student's
inherent potential by providing a learning environment of trust in which
curiosity and natural desire to learn can be nourished and enhanced.
