The Dooly County School System will observe Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month this November by honoring the legacy of Ms. Carolyn Brooks. On Thursday, November 20, 2025, we invite the entire school community to participate in 'Bobcats Wear Teal for Carolyn' Day. Ms. Brooks, our cherished former DCHS Assistant Principal and DCSS CEO CCA/CTAE Director, would have celebrated her birthday on November 27th. We encourage everyone to wear teal in remembrance of her extraordinary life and to raise awareness for ovarian cancer.
