Welcome to Fort Bragg and the surrounding areas. You may have many questions about registering your children and attending school in the area.
Here are some key points to REMEMBER:
- Your child can only attend schools in the district in which you live.
- Only if you live on Federal Property can you attend Fort Bragg Schools. This includes the Fort Bragg Housing area and the Linden Oaks Housing area. This does NOT include Heritage Village. Heritage Village students attend Hoke County Schools.
- High School students residing on Fort Bragg attend EE Smith High School in Cumberland County Schools. High School students residing at Linden Oaks attend Overhills High School in Harnett County Schools.
