Picture
The Harrell Learning Center is a member of the  Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Support (GNETS) that is comprised of 24 programs which support the local school systems’ continuum of services for students with disabilities, ages 3-21. The programs provide comprehensive educational and therapeutic support services to students  due to the severity of one or more of the characteristics of the disability category of emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD).

The Harrell Learning Center serves eight surrounding counties: Ware, Coffee, Charlton, Pierce, Atkinson, Clinch, Bacon, and Brantley.  Our facility is located in Ware County and students are bused to/from daily. Our fiscal agent is Okefenokee Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA). 
​​Students receiving services through a GNETS Program are referred by their local school system through the Individual Education Program (IEP) process. An IEP team may consider in-class services by a GNETS program for a child with an emotional and behavioral disorder based upon documentation of the severity of the duration, frequency and intensity of one or more of the characteristics of the disability category of emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). This documentation must include prior extension of less restrictive services and data which indicate such services have not enabled the child to benefit educationally. For children receiving in-class services, local schools are actively involved.

Mission Statement

The Harrell Learning Center strives to empower students to become confident and creative builders of their future. Students are encouraged to meet academic and social challenges with openness, enthusiasm, and determination. We motivate students to solve problems with respect for individual differences and community values.

 Behavior Intervention

Academic Intervention


Our school practices many types of behavior interventions. Our main focus is Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS). Modeling appropriate behavior and positive reinforcement are the main components of this type of focus. As part of PBIS, we offer a shop (The Hurricane Exchange) where students can purchase items for themselves as well as their family and friends. Students are also offered animal therapy and daily reward time (DRT). 

Our school-wide goals are:   
1. Be Resonsible
2. Be Respectful
3. Be In-Control
Universal screening occurs to determine all students' fluency, comprehension, and math computation abilities. Students that may struggle academically are offered multiple supports. Allowable accommodations are provided by their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Interventions are provided through i-Ready, IXL, Reading Eggs, and teacher-provided supports.
