The Dooly County School System celebrated National School Lunch Week recently. Dr. Sherrod Willaford, Interim Superintendent and Mrs. Holly Black, Curriculum Director and other faculty and staff joined the Nutrition Program staff to serve students lunch for a day. Some of the greatest highlights of the day included being able to see each student and lending support to our hard working school nutrition team who provide the best and most nutritious meals to our students and staff. Congress adopted National School Lunch Week over 60 years ago, and the Level Up theme this year highlights how the school lunch program has been a "game changer" for students and their families. Dooly County School System Nutrition Program - we salute you and appreciate all that you do! #ThisisDooly! #IamDooly! #WeareDooly!

Hello DCHS Sophomore,
You are scheduled to take the PSAT/NMSQT on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. This year’s administration of the test will be computer based. Remember to get plenty of sleep the night before and have a nutritious breakfast the morning before the test.
Be prepared with everything you need for a smooth and successful test day. There is not a lot you will need to bring on test day. You can bring an approved calculator. There is a graphing calculator built into the app, but you can bring your own if you like. Be sure to bring extra batteries for it just in case. You'll be better off leaving some items at home. The following items are prohibited during the test and breaks on test day:
*Phones, smartwatches, fitness trackers or any other wearable technology
*Audio players, Bluetooth devices such as wireless headphones/earbuds
*Notes, books or other reference materials
*Compasses, rulers, protractors, or cutting devices
*Headphones, earbuds, or earplugs
*Any camera or any type of audio/video recording device or timer
*Unapproved calculators – Calculators that have computer-style (QWERTY) keyboards, use paper tape, make noise or use a power cord.
If your prohibited electronic device makes noise in your possession or you are seen with it at any time, including during breaks, you may be dismissed immediately, your scores may be canceled, and the device may be confiscated, and its contents inspected.
CollegeBoard also encourages students to prepare for the test by practicing. The links below offer several resources for preparing for the PSAT/NMSQT.
