Your journey thus far has equipped you with the tools to face challenges head-on, and your response to these obstacles will define your path forward. Your academic achievements reflect your strong character, work ethic, and determination.
I hope you will continue pushing yourself, remaining true to your values, and persevering through inevitable adversity. The future is bright, and we are eager to see you accomplish even more extraordinary feats.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Greetings Valedictorians and Salutatorians,
Congratulations on your outstanding achievement in being named your school's top academic scholar. As the Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the Class of 2024, you have demonstrated exceptional dedication, intelligence, and perseverance. We at the DeKalb County Board of Education are proud to celebrate your success.
Your journey to this prestigious accomplishment is a testament to your ability to set ambitious goals and work tirelessly to achieve them. Your commitment to academic excellence serves as an inspiration to your peers and a reflection of the rewards that come from hard work and determination.
As you prepare to take on the next phase of your life, I encourage you to embrace the words of Denzel Washington: "Nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks. Fall forward. Every failed experiment is one step closer to success." Remember that setbacks are opportunities for growth and learning and that resilience in the face of challenges is a hallmark of true success.
Your achievements would not have been possible without the support of your family, friends, teachers, and the entire DeKalb County School District community. As you move forward, know that you carry the collective pride and well wishes of all who have supported you on your journey.
The future holds endless opportunities for you to positively impact the world. I am confident that you will continue to excel in your personal and professional endeavors, use your talents and passions, inspire others, and effect meaningful change.
As you pursue your dreams, remember to remain grounded, stay true to your values, and always extend a helping hand to those around you. Your success reflects not only your hard work but also the support and guidance you have received along the way.
I am extremely proud of you. May your future be filled with continued success. Have fun while keeping your eyes forward and holding your head high in everything you do. See it through!
Collaboratively yours,
Diijon DaCosta, Sr. Board Chair
DeKalb County Board of Education

DeKalb County School District Six Core Values:
Humanization- Before we can address the critical work that has to be accomplished collectively in the DeKalb County School District, we must connect as human beings first. Recognizing value and worth and not viewing others solely as resources and a means to an end.
Professionalism- should be exhibited in all phases of our professional and personal life. Our dress code, the manner in which we communicate, accountability, and punctuality are some traits that represent professionalism.
Respect- A professional work environment is built on mutual respect. We treat each other with courtesy, we value diversity, and appreciate different perspectives.
Integrity- is closely related to professionalism but it involves honesty, truthfulness, and ethical conduct. Taking responsibility for their actions and maintaining confidentiality when required.
Dignity- Fair treatment of individuals. Not discriminating against individuals because of race, gender, age, or sexual orientation. Open and honest communication regardless of the position or title is imperative.
Empathy- Understand and share the feelings, perspectives, and experiences of others. It involves recognizing and acknowledging the emotions and concerns of others, as well as responding in a compassionate and supportive manner.
