Former students from the class of 1972 returned to DCHS for their 50th class reunion! They toured our campus and walked through the new athletic facility, while reminiscing about the good old times and the trophies DCHS won when they were students. Athletic Director and Assistant Principal James Richards served as their escort during the visit. It was an honor to have them visit and share the rich history and traditions of our campus. We were truly ecstatic to welcome them and learn how things had transformed over the last 50 years! Thank you for your visit, Class of '72!

As a way of saying, "THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO EACH AND EVERYDAY" all faculty & staff were treated to some of the best BBQ from Hudson's BBQ when they rolled on our campus ready to serve today! DCHS Tiger Family works hard each day to ensure our students are 5G Ready, and the administrative team wants them to know they are appreciated! #teacherappreciation365

"See it, Say It, Send It" App Launch Allows Students to Anonymously Report Potential Threats

With the addition of a student app, Douglas County students are bringing safety to their fingertips. The added layer of school safety is called See It, Say it, Send It.

Sending a message through the anonymous app is quick and easy. First, students download the See It, Say it, Send It app. From there, students send a video, audio or text message. In their message, they can include anonymous information about potential school violence, drug use or bullying. When students use the app, sharing information with administrators is easier.

The app gives students a voice. Students can share information through the app, and parents can also use the phone or website to submit information. This accessibility allows pertinent information to be shared with those who need to know.

Director of School Discipline and Safety Management James Strong says this technology empowers students.

“See It, Say it, Send it not only empowers our students, but acts as an early warning system,” Strong says. “It facilitates reporting potentially dangerous situations and allows administrators to continue providing the best learning environment. This technology allows us to be more proactive in resolving matters before they ever become an issue.”

The student communications tool reflects the district’s efforts to improve safety in the school community.

“Meeting students where they are is critical,” Superintendent Trent North says. “Board members believe we must offer students a mobile way to interact with our district. Our students live in a digital generation and are redefining how we communicate. This app allows them to share critical information through text, picture messages, or video any time of day.”

Superintendent North encourages students to download the app. Along with school administrators, he sees the app as an additional way for students to share safety concerns.

Students can download the free app from Android, Apple, or Classlink. From there, they can submit a quick or detailed tip and follow the tip’s progress.

To access your students progress reports, report cards, attendance, and grades, click the "Infinite Campus Parent Portal Set Up" link above for directions on registering for a Parent Portal account.

Nine weeks progress reports were made available online on Oct. 14th via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal for all students and parents to view. Progress reports will not be printed, so please create an IC Parent Portal account to keep track of your child's progress.

If you need help with Parent Portal, contact the Douglas County Help Desk at parent@dcssga.org or (770) 651-2330.

When students are present daily, their grades and reading skills often improve—even among those students who are struggling in school. Students who frequently attend school feel more connected to their community and develop strong social skills and friendships, which are important life skills.

High School hours are 8:20-3:25.

Daily attendance is strongly encouraged.

To maintain the safety of our school community, the Douglas County School System Police Department implemented the use of trained canines from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in September. These skilled dogs, accompanied by DCSS administrators, sniffed items in and around our campus. Administrators took every effort to minimize disruption to the learning process during the search. Thankfully, the police department found no evidence of any violations during this search.

The Douglas County School System initiated the random unannounced search in response to our commitment to protect our school community’s health, safety, and welfare. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will continue to partner with us in our proactive efforts to maintain a safe environment for our school community. We sincerely desire that nothing illegal or against district policy be recovered during these searches. However, we must remain vigilant to maintain a positive and secure learning environment for Douglas County students. Thank you for supporting us in our efforts to keep our campus safe.
