Dr. McBride Farewell Video DCHS
Greetings All,
The Dooly County School System regrets to announce the resignation of Dr. Rodney McBride, who has served as the principal of the Dooly County High School for the last 3 years. Dr. McBride has decided to step down from the position in order to accept a position closer to his home.
During his tenure, Dr. McBride has made significant contributions to our school community, fostering a positive culture and climate, increasing student achievement, and ensuring growth for our students, faculty, and staff. Under his leadership, the Dooly County High School has seen increases in the graduation rate, unprecedented teacher retention rates, and improved community engagement.
“We are grateful for Dr. McBride’s dedication and commitment to our students, staff, and community,” said Dr. Sherrod Willaford, Superintendent of Dooly County School System. “While we are sad to see Dr. McBride go; yet we fully support his decision to move closer to his family. He will be missed.”
The school district is currently accepting applications to fill the vacancy created by Dr. McBride’s resignation.
Respectfully,
Sherrod D. Willaford
