Wilkes County voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, to decide on the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (E-SPLOST) referendum.
This is not a new tax. It is a continuation of the current one-cent sales tax used to support school system needs, such as:
• School safety improvements
• Facility upgrades and maintenance
• Buses and technology
• Other capital needs across the district
Early voting will take place April 27 through May 15, 2026.

The Wilkes County Lady Tigers will compete in the GHSA State Basketball Championship on Thursday, March 12th, at 1:00 PM at the Macon Coliseum in Macon.
Wilkes County Schools will observe a Virtual Learning Day on Thursday, March 12th, in place of the previously scheduled early release day. This will allow students, families, and staff the opportunity to travel to Macon and support the Lady Tigers as they compete for a state title. Principals and directors will provide guidance for staff regarding expectations for Thursday. Friday will remain a scheduled In-Service day for staff, and students will not report.
These young women have represented Wilkes County with pride both on the basketball court and in the classroom. Their dedication, teamwork, and commitment reflect the support of their families, coaches, teachers, and the entire Wilkes County community.
We encourage our community to come out and support the Lady Tigers as they compete for a state championship. We hope to see Tiger fans filling the stands in Macon as we rally behind our team.
