Ties with Quitman County

Following the burning of Georgetown High School in 1978, students from Quitman County attended Stewart County High School (then known as Stewart-Quitman High).^[3] In 2007 Quitman County approved the building of a new high school in Georgetown, Georgia, and in 2009; Quitman County High School opened.

Athletics

The school has teams for football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's track and field, women's volleyball, and baseball and currently play in Class A Public Region 5. Their mascot is the Royal Knight. While the basketball and volleyball teams play at the new school buildings' gymnasium, the baseball and football teams currently play at the old Stewart County High School Building which has since been repurposed into the Fountain B Wims Community Center.
