Good morning,
I hope everyone remained safe during the severe weather that moved through our area earlier today. Thankfully, conditions appear to have settled.
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to our transportation team, parents, administrators, teachers, and staff for working together to ensure our students arrived safely at school this morning. Your patience, communication, and commitment to student safety are deeply valued.
Moments like these remind us that it truly takes all of us working together to support our students and our schools. Thank you for your continued dedication and cooperation.
Respectfully,
Sherrod D. Willaford, Ed.D.

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.
A Message from Dr. Willaford Regarding Today's Lockdown
