The Dixie District School System is located in Cross City, Florida, and
connected to the outlying communities of Suwannee, Jena, Old Town, and
Horseshoe Beach. We are a largely rural Gulf coast county with a wealth of
natural resources. Dixie County is nestled between two beautiful rivers, the
Suwannee and Steinhatchee. Our schools are the heartbeat of the
community. There are four schools within the Dixie District School System in grades PreK-12. There
are two elementary schools in our county, Anderson Elementary located in Cross City and Old Town
Elementary located in the eastern boundary of our county in Old Town. Ruth Rains Middle School is
located in Cross City along with Dixie County High School, which is our one comprehensive high
school. Our vocational technical school lies adjacent to and is part of the high school campus, which
serves grades 9-12.
