Today begins the annual celebration of National Teacher Appreciation Week across the DeKalb County School District (DCSD). I want to take this time to thank our phenomenal educators for their tireless efforts and dedication to students, schools, families, the community, and each other. There is no DCSD without our dedicated educators! We hope that you feel the love and appreciation from everyone this week and year-round!
