    Who We Serve
     
    Forsyth County Schools’ primary customer, who is at the center of everything we do, is the individual student. The district works collaboratively with other customers, such as staff, parents, citizens and businesses, to support the primary customer. 
     
      
    ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Learner Profile
     
    The Learner Profile is the work of our school district. It is displayed in every classroom in the district. The Learner Profile lists the attributes we expect all students to possess by the time they graduate from one of our high schools. It will be reviewed by staff in 2021 as part of the district's Continuous Improvement Process.
