The district is governed by the Marengo County Board of Education. Board members are elected for a term of four years, with one member from each of the county's five voting precincts. A superintendent, hired by the board, and support staff oversee the system on a daily basis. The current superintendent is Luther Hallmark.
The county system operates three K–12 schools, which include Amelia Love Johnson High School in Thomaston, Marengo High School in Dixons Mills, and Sweet Water High School in Sweet Water. It operated four until it was decided in 2014 that John Essex High School in Demopolis would not reopen after the summer break. The district also operates one alternative school, based in Linden. The Marengo County cities of Demopolis and Linden operate their own independent school systems, the Demopolis City School District and Linden City Schools.
