IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER
As we bring the 2011-2012 school year to a close, I find myself beaming with pride over all we have accomplished this year. It is amazing that a group of students and a collection of caring faculty and staff members can accomplish so much in just 9 short months! We have garnered academic success, athletic recognition, and extracurricular accomplishments. We have worked hard and overcome any obstacle that had been placed in our paths to become a truly wonderful campus!

To the Class of 2012, I want to thank you for your dedication and commitment to Dawson High School. You have left your mark on all of us here on campus and I wish you the best of luck as you soar into your futures with the same commitment and work ethic that you exhibited here. I know that you have nothing but success ahead of you in all of your future endeavors and look forward to seeing you come back next year to visit! For those students who will be returning next year, I am looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for all of you as well. I know that you will pick up right where the Class of 2012 left off and continue to lead our school with excitement, pride and a sense of tradition that is palpable from the moment you set foot on campus! I hope all of you have a safe and memorable summer! See you in August!
