The best of the best! Douglas County Schools are known for their excellence and all 9 of our High Schools are Award Winning. I have been an employee for 15 years and of all the school districts I have worked in . Just wonderful and I have had the most rewarding experience of my 39 year teaching career. Comparable to my home state of Texas, It takes the highest standards to match my vision of what excellence looks like. Eastside Elementary has been my home school with the leadership of Mrs. Lisa Dunnigan, Title I schools , Mr. Timothy Jenkins, Mr. Roach and Area Superintendent Mrs. Manley have exemplified the highest quality of inspiration and high expectations. I am so honored to highly recommend to the world this awesome School District!
I am a product of the Douglas County School system and I am currently teaching in the system...I love Douglas County. When I started my teaching career I was teaching in another county; however, I love DCSS so much that once I became I mom I made sure I was teaching in this county prior to my own children starting school. My children are now wrapping up their own school career and I couldn't be more happier with my decision to bring them to Douglas County. This county continues to grow and change with the times to stay current and to ensure they are providing EVERY opportunity for their students to be successful in life. Thank you Douglas County for putting the next generation a priority!
Douglas County Schools are leading the way in technology, safety, and welcoming ethos! I have been teaching for 26 years and in 3 different school systems. After coming back to DCSS from a neighboring system for the past 20 years that boasted to be the best, I couldn't believe how much as an educator, I had been missing out on. Students in DC are truly top priority and the leadership goes above and beyond to support the faculties and staffs at each school to ensure we can teach and reach every student. Even during the pandemic, we have not skipped a beat! I am also a parent of a high schooler in the system and have been nothing but impressed.
