The Cherokee County School District manages the 40 schools in Cherokee County, Georgia, United States. The school district's leadership consists of an elected seven-member school board.[4]

The board's chairperson is elected by the county at large and does not represent a single post.

The school board appoints a school superintendent; Dr. Mary Elizabeth Davis has held this position since 2024.

Under Georgia state law, individual board members are not permitted to act individually in any capacity but rather as an entire board based on majority rule. The superintendent is responsible for all employees in the district.
