About GHC's Cartersville Site
GHC proudly serves Northwest Georgia with five convenient locations. The Cartersville location was opened in 2005. This became GHC’s second site following a name change from Floyd College to Georgia Highlands College to reflect the regional nature of its service. It provides students with a full range of resources and activities. Students who attend this site will have access to a 55,000-square-foot student center designed with a mountain lodge feel that matches the original classroom building and has a two-story stone fireplace in the open-air student lounge as its centerpiece. Along with the campus bookstore, the center houses a small café, a game room, a weight and cardio room, two volleyball/basketball courts, and a suspended indoor running track.
Spring semester 2019, the Cartersville Site officially opened a new academic building which targeted our growing need for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) classrooms. With five science labs, six computer labs, thirteen general classrooms, and an art studio, students now have access to courses previously unavailable at this site. With a ceiling to floor glass lounge overlooking central campus, students can find a quiet place to relax, study, and take in the breathtaking views of the campus.
The Cartersville location is in Bartow County, a few miles from downtown Cartersville, which is located in the rolling hills north of Atlanta and is home to historic locations, including the Grand Theatre, the Booth Western Art Museum, and the Bartow History Center. Bartow County also holds a 1,200 acre, state-of-the-art sports venue for more than 20 of America’s favorite sports called LakePoint. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive youth sports tournament vacation destinations in the world. For more information on the area, please visit: visitcartersvillega.org
