Itā€™s officially Senior Spotlight season, and we couldnā€™t be more proud to shine a light on some of our recent graduates! 

Today weā€™re featuring Dalton High School graduate Maddy Stacy!

As Maddy Stacy spent her time at Dalton High School, she was an exceptionally driven student who constantly excelled. Maddy was considered an outstanding scholar who was not only a part of the DHS varsity track and field team, Interact Club, Beta Club, National Honor Society, and Pep Club, but who also prioritized her academic success. She was able to maintain all Aā€™s every single year, ranking in the top 10 of her class, and receiving her early decision acceptance into The University of Georgia, all of which she considers her greatest high school achievements. When she looks back at the memories she has made over the last four years, her favorites all revolve around the time she spent with the friends she made and becoming closer to them each day. This fall, Maddy will attend The University of Georgia to study Accounting, a career path she chose out of a strong passion and love for working with numbers and mathematics. Dalton Public Schools is incredibly proud of Maddyā€™s academic excellence and achievements, and we look forward to seeing all she accomplishes in the future!

šŸ“šāœØ Our Rising Pre-K and Kindergarten Summer Transition Program hosted its first annual Creative Discovery Museum Young Authors Family Workshop, bringing students and families together for a fun-filled day of reading, writing, storytelling, and creative expression!

This yearā€™s theme, ā€œYoung Authors,ā€ invited families to explore literacy through hands-on stations designed to spark imagination and build early language skills. From creating silly stories and performing puppet shows to examining illustrations, stitching letters, and even making a stop motion film, students practiced important skills like vocabulary, comprehension, oral language, sequencing, fine motor development, and early writing.

Most importantly, families had the chance to learn, laugh, and create together while celebrating the power of stories. We are so thankful for this meaningful opportunity to support our youngest learners as they grow into confident readers, writers, and storytellers!

The Rising Pre-K and Kindergarten Summer Transition Program recently hosted its first annual Magical Math Family Workshop, inviting students and families to explore the joy of numeracy through hands-on learning stations.

This yearā€™s theme, ā€œA Bugā€™s Life,ā€ brought together the excitement of math and science as students worked through six engaging stations that combined counting, problem-solving, and insect-themed fun! From plastic spiders and web mats to fly swatters and dice games, every activity was designed to spark curiosity and build foundational math skills in a playful, memorable way.

Families rotated through stations including:

Roll, Find, and Stamp ā€“ practicing number recognition and fine motor skills
Race to Fill ā€“ counting and comparing using dice, cups, and pom-poms
How Many Bugs Am I Hiding? ā€“ building estimation and early addition skills
Subitizing Cups ā€“ recognizing quantities quickly using dot stickers and patterns
Smack the Bug Counting Game ā€“ developing number fluency with a fun twist
Collecting Bugs ā€“ exploring preschool-level addition with bugs and butterflies

It was a fantastic afternoon of math, movement, and memory-making for our young learners and their families!

Itā€™s officially Senior Spotlight season, and we couldnā€™t be more proud to shine a light on some of our recent graduates!

Today weā€™re featuring Dalton High School graduate Rogelio Herrera Jr!

During Rogelio Herrera Jr.ā€™s time at Dalton High School, he discovered a deep passion for the arts and a community that changed his life. He was heavily involved on campus through choir and theater, completing Drama 1, 2, and 3, IB Theater Arts, and spending three years participating in Catamount Singers. He made countless memories at DHS, but his absolute favorite was stepping up as the stage manager for the schoolā€™s production of ā€œHetty Feather,ā€ a leadership role he had aimed for since his freshman year. Looking back, Rogelio considers his greatest high school achievement to be making amazing, talented friends who supported him through thick and thin and pushed him to take risks. This fall, Rogelio will attend Dalton State College to study marketing, a path he chose because of his high school economics class, where he discovered a love for the business world. Dalton Public Schools is incredibly proud of Rogelio and looks forward to seeing all the wonderful things he accomplishes in this next chapter!
