Free Wi-Fi for Students
The Barrow County School System and Barrow County Chamber of Commerce have partnered to create a Free Wi-Fi Directory for students. This online directory provides a list of free Wi-Fi hotspots, sponsored by organizations and businesses in Barrow County. If you are a business owner and want to provide internet access to BCSS students and their families, please CLICK HERE to add your business to our Wi-Fi directory. We will send you a decal (graphic above) to display in a prominent location at your business.

We appreciate the support of local businesses in expanding free Wi-Fi for students! The support of local businesses increases access for our students to study, collaborate and engage in their learning far beyond the walls of our schools.
