The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has requested the Pickens High School sign be removed from the easement for the purposes of constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Dragon Drive and Highway 53. The Pickens County School District does not own the land where the sign is located and has been in discussion with GDOT over multiple years regarding both the PHS sign and the roundabout. Our sign will be removed on March 28, 2025 and will be reconstructed after the completion of roadwork.

Even after retiring from PCSD 10 years ago, Mrs. Ruth just couldn't leave us behind—and we’re so grateful she didn’t! She dedicates her time daily to Hill City Elementary's media center, helping our Hawks. She’s also a legend at Heritage Days, known as the “lady who tells stories with the dancing man.” Her passion, kindness, and love for our school make Hill City a little brighter and happier every day!
Thank you, Mrs. Ruth, for all you do!
