Dublin HighSchool Week of October 2, 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

DHS Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month - Thursday, October 5th: Dublin High School Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at 1:15 PM in the gym. Families and members of the community are invited to attend. About National Hispanic Heritage Month - Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this thirty-day period. Dublin High School will recognize Hispanic Heritage Month with planned activities.



Support Staff of the Year: Congratulations to Ms. Krystal Waller, Dublin High School Support Staff of the Year! We love Ms. Waller and pay tribute to her untiring work as the Family Engagement Coordinator for DHS! She is also the auxiliary coach for the Irish Band among many other duties and responsibilities. Congratulations Ms. Waller!


“Don’t Stop Believing!”

Go Irish!
