What people are saying
Virginia Luna
Teacher
"Dalton High School gave me that opportunity to give back to my community all the things that I once received as a newcomer."
Jackie Taylor
Social Worker & Parent
"My daughter has attended Brookwood since Pre-K and is about to start Dalton Middle School. Even though I'm 'not from around here,' I am proud to know that someday I will be the mother of a Dalton High School graduate. I love working for Dalton Public Schools and am proud to be part of the Dalton Difference."
Miguel Gonzalez
Teacher
"I had Carol Satterfield, she still teaches at Dalton Middle School. I saw her really take care of me and my older brother outside of the classroom, that's when I said, okay, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life."
2nd Lt. Jesus Cortez
Alum
"There was always something to do around here. It's not like I'd end up going home and playing video games, I actually stopped playing video games in high school because there was so much to do. That shaped me into being versatile and always trying something new. I had a great experience with the school system."
Monica Maldonado
Alum
"I'm really thankful I got to go through a robust IB and AP program because I exempted a lot of credit hours when I got to college, and I was well-prepared for the rigor of my college courses."
