CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DCS
We would like to congratulate the 2022 DCS Teachers of the year! Their photo will soon be displayed on the HWY 136 west billboard across from Guthrie's. We are extremely proud of their dedication and commitment to the students of Dade County!
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR 2022 - 2023
It was great to see all of the smiling faces returning back to class on Friday. As students and staff begin to settle into their routine, so will the traffic in Trenton and the bus pick-up and drop-off times.
Jake Marshall Service Donates HVAC Unit
DCS would like to thank Jake Marshall Service, Inc for their generous donation of a brand new HVAC package unit. The donation was made to the DCHS Construction Trades program last week. This will provide our students with hands-on electrical and mechanical opportunities to better understand the operation of the HVAC unit. We also want to take this opportunity to congratulate Owen Dabbs, a 2022 DCHS graduate, for beginning his career with Jake Marshall Service.

ACTIVE INTRUDER DRILL CONDUCTED AT DCHS
On Thursday, August 4th, the DCS faculty and staff participated in an active intruder drill at Dade County High School. The simulation involved different agencies across NWGA which included: Dade County EMA, Dade County Sheriff's Office, Trenton Police Department, Trenton-Dade Fire, Catoosa County Fire Department, Walker County Fire & Rescue, and the Lookout Mountain Police Department. The Dade County School District will coordinate with the Dade County Sheriff's Office and conduct additional safety drills throughout the school year. We want to ensure that our students and staff know how to respond in the event of an emergency.
