Welcome to Coffee County School’s Excellence Program. The primary goal of  the Excellence Program is to provide a safe, academically enriched, and fun environment for students. The Excellence Program is an after-school enrichment, homework assistance, and tutorial program for students. Excellence will serve students in Kindergarten through eighth grade. This program is a non-discriminating choice program funded completely by Coffee County Schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
