A Note From Dr. Overstreet...
Support for Dublin High School Sister/City Exchange Trip to Japan: Dublin High School is now planning to support six of our students with their travel expenses to Japan after being selected to represent DHS and Dublin City Schools in a once in a life time trip. We are grateful to the Japan/Osaka Sister City Exchange Committee for selecting six DHS students to the delegation of nine students from across Dublin/Laurens County high schools.
To contribute to this event, donations are being accepted by writing a check to: Dublin High School Exchange Japan/Osaka Sister City Exchange, 1127 Hillcrest Parkway, Dublin, GA 31021. Congratulations to the six Dublin High School students who were selected by the Exchange Committee to travel to Japan in April of 2024 to study and experience the Japan culture. We are thrilled at this opportunity and extremely proud of the following students for representing Dublin High School: Derick McRae, Paris White, Emma McDaniel, Derricka Lewis, Elle Walker, and Kate Kolbie.
Breaking News for Dublin High School Seniors: During Thursday's Inaugural Workforce Summit, Governor Brian Kemp set the course for the future of workforce development -- The GEORGIA MATCH Initiative. GEORGIA MATCH is a simple way for students to learn about their eligibility for college admission to one or more of the 45 participating colleges and universities across the state of Georgia based on their HOPE GPA! Born from the collaboration of multiple state agencies, it aims to simplify the process of connecting our students with higher education opportunities and promises to resonate with all our learners and households, including those who might not have traditionally considered post-secondary education pathways. Class of 2024: Be on the lookout for your GEORGIA MATCH letters. Beginning next week, you'll be one of 120,000 high school seniors across the state to receive a personalized letter from Governor Kemp listing the public technical institutions, colleges and universities that are holding a spot for YOU in the Fall 2024 semester, based on academic eligibility. Dublin High School counselor, Ms. Jessica will be available to assist you with this process. Parents, please call the school if you have any questions pertaining to the Governor’s Georgia Match Initiative.
