Dooly County School System

Yesterday, DCHS senior Kaleb Green represented our school at the state capital as part of the Chatt-Flint RESA Student Advisory Council! Despite a busy day at the capital, Kaleb and his fellow students had the opportunity to meet and speak with members of both the House and Senate. We’re proud of Kaleb for being such a great ambassador for our school and engaging with state legislators to share the student perspective. Way to go, Kaleb! 🎓 #DCHSProud #StudentLeadership #StudentVoice #DoolyUnited​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our Varsity Girls Basketball team had an amazing time at Georgia Tech’s Teams Day! 🏀 The players got a firsthand look at college athletics and learned valuable lessons about teamwork and sportsmanship at the next level. #GoJackets #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #DoolyUnited

🎓 Introducing the Dooly Legacy Initiative! 🎓

Some of our best educators, leaders, and staff members have something special in common—they're Dooly County graduates who chose to come back home to serve.

They walked our halls as students. Now they're shaping the future for the next generation.

**We're kicking off this initiative TODAY** by spotlighting our very first Dooly Legacy—Mrs. Ansley Scarborough! Each Friday moving forward, we'll feature another Dooly Legacy, sharing their stories, celebrating their journey, and honoring their commitment to our community.

Because when you love where you came from, you come back to make it even better. 💛
