Dalton Public Schools (DPS) would like to inform members of the DPS community of an exciting astronomical event that our school community will have the opportunity to experience together on Monday, April 8, 2024. A solar eclipse will pass over North America, a rare phenomenon providing a learning opportunity for our students.

Monday, April 8th is our first day back from spring break and will be a normal school day for our district.

Pending approval, Dr. Tim Scott, the Superintendent of Dalton Public Schools, has been selected by the GHSA board of trustees to assume the role of the association's next executive director, effective July 1.

Laurie King currently serves as the Physical Education (P.E.) teacher and Teacher of the Year at Westwood School. Her inspiration to teach stems from a simple yet powerful source – the kids. Mrs. King cherishes the enthusiasm with which students approach P.E. each day, eager to learn new skills and explore new activities.

Dalton Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Tim Scott is thrilled to announce the launch of a powerful new literacy initiative at Dalton Public Schools, aimed at fostering a culture of reading excellence and empowering every student to unlock their full potential.
