Dublin High School

Week of September 11, 2023

A NOTE FROM DR. OVERSTREET... Congressman Rick Allen Visit to Dublin High School: Dublin High School was honored to host Congressman Rick Allen to the school last Friday. Congressman Allen focused his visit on the WAY, the College & Career Academy. He was very impressed with the career pathway opportunities that we provide for students on the campus of Dublin High School. Moreover, he stressed the importance of preparing students to be "workforce ready" and the impact students will have on the economic development of the Dublin and Laurens County community after graduation. Congressman Allen will be a voice for the College and Career Academy on Capital Hill.

Children 16 and under are required to be accompanied by an adult in order to be admitted to all athletic events. This will be strictly enforced, and is designed to promote the safety, health, and well being of all students. Also, anyone found to violate the GHSA Code of Conduct, which states “…Profanity, degrading remarks, and intimidating actions directed at officials, competitors, or other spectators will not be tolerated, and are grounds for removal from the event site,” will be banned from future events. Let’s put our best foot forward while also cheering our Irish on to victory! #GoIrish Student Safety & Wellness: Signing Out Students From School: Students are not allowed to leave campus during the school day without written permission from the parent and approval from the school administration.. No student is allowed to sign out to get lunch and return to school. All students must sign in and out of the school office before departing the school campus. Each student checking out should have a note and should submit it to the Front Office no later than 8:00 a.m. for verification and approval. The note should have the name and telephone number of the parent/guardian to be called. Students shall not be released until a parent/guardian is contacted and the verification process is completed. If a student checks out, he/she must keep his/her check out note and present it to the teachers whose classes were missed when the student returns to school. Under no circumstances should any student leave campus, once the student has arrived on campus, without parent/guardian verification before signing out. Scholarships: There are several scholarships that are now available. Please review the list of scholarship posted in this newsletter weekly. Students can complete the scholarship application online, or by seeking the assistance of the high school counselor, Ms. Jessica Lemon. Have a great week! Don't Stop Believing! Michael Overstreet
