Middle School Meetings are twice a month after school on the 2nd and 4th Friday's. A curriculum correlated to the Georgia Performance Standards is used for club meetings.

All 4th & 5th graders in the county are enrolled as Cloverleaf members of Heard County 4-H. 4-Her’s will bring home monthly newsletters with information about upcoming activities.

Any 4th-5th grader that does not attend these schools but is interested in participating in 4-H activities should contact the 4-H Office.
