Dooly County Pre-K Registration Is Now Open for 2023-2024!

After returning from the GAEL Summer Conference, the Dooly County District Leadership Team hit the ground running by participating in our inaugural “Start Up” Workshop, establishing “The Dooly Way to Excellence and Equity.” For two days, July 13th and 14th, district and school-based leaders gathered to 1) continue the journey to accreditation by completing the Cognia self-assessment, and 2) to re-establish and update each other on internal processes and practices as we prepare to start another school year. Leaders utilized data to update the balanced scorecard from the strategic plan, demonstrated and understanding of Cognia standards by illustration, and engaged in a hands-on activity to mirror their unwavering commitment to growth.

Dooly K-8 leaders and educators were honored to present our Dooly story of hard work and resilience on the international stage at the 2023 Model Schools' Conference in Orlando, FLA. Presenting at the conference from Dooly County Schools were Dr. Sherrod Willaford, Interim Superintendent, Dr. Hollie Walters, Principal, and Mrs. Kylie Garrard, Teacher. We were able to inspire over 1,200+ educators from all over the world as well as ourselves. #ThisisDooly! #MSC2023 #DCK8
