Dear Dalton Public Schools Community, 

Welcome back to the 2024-2025 school year! I am thrilled to kick off this exciting journey together, filled with opportunities for growth, innovation, and success. 

This year, we are celebrating the incredible people who make up our school district—the students, families, teachers, and staff. Your dedication, passion, and commitment have already led us to remarkable achievements, and together, we will continue to build on these successes, blazing new trails and reaching even greater heights. 

Our theme for this year, "Our Story, Our Strength: Leading as One," perfectly captures our mission to unite and celebrate every member of our school district. Through our shared experiences, diverse backgrounds, and collective efforts, we create a strong, supportive, and thriving educational environment. Every student's success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our educators, staff, and families, and I am honored to be part of this journey. 

As a school system, we are committed to striving for excellence in every aspect of our educational programs, fostering a culture of growth, inclusivity, and innovation. Our teachers and staff are at the heart of this mission, and I am dedicated to supporting and empowering them as they inspire and guide our students. Together, we will ensure that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential, achieving their goals in the classroom and their dreams beyond the halls of Dalton Public Schools. 

This year, we are also focusing on building a closer and more connected community. I encourage all of us to engage, collaborate, and support one another, creating a network of encouragement and strength. By celebrating each individual's unique contributions, we will continue to weave a rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives that enrich our entire educational environment. 

As we embark on this new school year, let us embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead with enthusiasm and determination. Together, we will write the next chapter of our story, one filled with resilience, innovation, and unity. 

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Dalton Public Schools. I look forward to working alongside you, celebrating our achievements, and leading as one. 

Warm regards,
