The PBIS Celebration was WOW!!! If your child said that the PBIS Schoolwide Celebration was lame, don't believe them. It was FANTASTIC!!!!!! The PBIS Celebration was a daylong event filled with an awesome guest speaker, Mr. Keith Brown who engaged our students with a powerful message. Following Mr. Brown, students were treated to a 3 on 3 basketball tournament, game trucks, a movie in the rotunda, flag football, and more. It was a great day!
Congratulations to the Fighting Irish Football Team: What a great season of Irish Football! I can't say enough about how our football team gave it their all every Friday night. However, they left it all on the field in Brooks County in the second round of GHSA Post Season Play to bring the season to an end. My hat is off to the players, coaches, and the community for a great season of Irish Football.

This #WorkforceWednesday we're showcasing our Dublin City Schools College and Career Academy's Business & Technology Pathway! Students in Mrs. Stephanie Wardlaw's Introduction to Business and Technology have already created personal logos and websites. And, now, they're working on perfecting their resumes. Sarah Wardlaw, Human Resources Manager of Interfor, recently stopped by to share tips for nailing an interview, what should be included to set a resume apart, and the top skills employers seek. To showcase their new skills, students participated in an interactive group project, during which they crafted a persona and constructed a resume for this character. Utilizing their individual work experiences, skills, and awards, they compiled content for their character's resume.
Thank you to Mrs. Sarah Wardlaw and Interfor for investing in The WAY's Business & Technology Pathway students!
“Don’t Stop Believing!”
Go Irish!
