Why Do You Love DeKalb Schools?

“I love DeKalb Schools because I was able to count on my teachers and coaches as a student at Columibia High School when my home environment failed to support or nourish me. Now, I can be that for the students as a Paraprofessional at Lakeside High School!” -Shamikah W.

“I love DeKalb Schools because I work here with amazing people, parents and students! I have 4 children in the district and I was also a student in DeKalb County Schools! We are a great place to live and learn!” -Keisha B. M.

“Working for DCSD, I have come to appreciate the support from the leadership. We are continually offered training for growth, opportunities for learning, and chances for networking with our fellow employees. The continued support makes for happy and motivated teachers and staff. The positive result transfers to student achievement.” -Kim C.

“As I reflect on the “I Love Dekalb” theme this year, I cannot articulate the amazing feeling of being able to give back to the very community that began my life-long love of learning, developing and serving. More than 30 years later, this school’s atmosphere has the same feel of unwavering love and support for students, staff and families. I have witnessed an ‘all hands on deck’ approach to beginning the school year and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to be a part of this. As a child, I was bussed to this school via the school district’s Minority to Majority (M & M) program and distinctly remember being different from those around me. However, the faculty and staff may me feel just as important and valuable as everyone else. I had an amazing experience at this school as a child and I am thoroughly enjoying supporting here as a leader in the district. I just wanted to share one reason why I LOVE  DeKalb!” –Watina April, E.L. Miller Elementary School
