The Dooly Legacy Initiative - Honoring Those Who Came Home to Serve

The Dooly Legacy Initiative celebrates a powerful tradition within our school system: employees who were once students in Dooly County schools and have chosen to return as professionals to serve the community that shaped them.

Our Vision

When educators and staff members are so deeply impacted by their experience in our schools that they choose to come back and give to the next generation, that commitment deserves recognition. The Dooly Legacy Initiative honors these individuals and the lasting influence of our school system.

Purpose

The Dooly Legacy Initiative aims to:

  • Celebrate Dooly County School System graduates who now serve our district in any role

  • Highlight the generational and community connections that strengthen our schools

  • Build a culture of loyalty, pride, and community investment

  • Demonstrate that Dooly County grows its own leaders

  • Preserve and share inspiring stories that uplift students, staff, families, and our entire community

Who is a Dooly Legacy?

A Dooly Legacy is any current Dooly County School System employee who:

  • Graduated from Dooly County schools, and

  • Returned to serve the district in any capacity—including teachers, paraprofessionals, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, administrators, secretaries, coaches, and all other roles

Every position matters. Every story inspires.
