Dooly County School System

What an inspiring evening at tonight's Board of Education meeting! The celebration of excellence was in full swing as multiple recognitions took center stage. The board honored the DCSS 51st Founders Day, acknowledging our district's rich history and commitment to education. Recognition was also given to Georgia School Board Week, National School Social Worker Week, and International Women's History Month—all significant observances that highlight the diverse contributions to our educational community. A special moment came when our dedicated Dooly County 4-H students were recognized for their service as board members through the Southwest district. This was followed by Mr. Quad Hardy, our outstanding 4-H agent, received a well-deserved coin of distinction for his exceptional work with students and his willingness to always go above and beyond. Nights like these remind us of the many individuals who make our school community special! #DoolyCountySchools #Excellence #Recognition

We are so proud to share that one of Dooly County High School's outstanding students, Kaleb Green, had the opportunity to visit the Georgia Capitol today!

Today in Dr. Foster's physical science class, our 8th graders explored wave properties using everyday foods! Students conducted various hands-on experiments connecting wave concepts to edible materials.
