Dooly County Schools kicked off the 2024 school year with a new hire/teacher orientation at the Dooly K-8 Academy on Thursday, July 20th. We thank GAE and PAGE for providing breakfast and lunch. We also thank our community partners (Middle GA EMC, Dooly Co. Extension Office, Cadence Bank, Dooly County Chamber, Dooly County Family Connection, Gateway Center, Ellis Pecans, City of Unadilla, and the City of Vienna) for the great "swag bags" for our new teachers. We are excited and ready for the new school year.

Please complete this information immediately so that your schedule can be an accurate reflection of your interests.
