Dunwoody Wildcats Varsity Football Is Heading to Playoffs

They will travel to Hinesville, Georgia this Friday to take on Bradwell Institute in the first round of the state playoffs. LET'S GO WILDCATS! 

 


Welcome to Our New Librarian/Media Specialist

We want to thank Ms. Hawk for her quarter of a century service as Librarian at Dunwoody HS. Ms. Hawk retired at the end of October. We also want to extend a warm Wildcat welcome to our new Librarian at DHS, Mr. Neely who starts on Monday, November 9. Many of you are already familiar with Mr. Neely as he has served as the Library Media Assistant at Peachtree Middle School for many years. Here's a little biography about Mr. Neely:

 

Hi! My name is Craig Neely, and I’m excited to announce that I will be coming onboard the Dunwoody High School staff to serve as the new Librarian/Media Specialist beginning Monday, November 9. I could not be happier to be joining the Wildcats! For the last 10 years I’ve served as the Library Media Assistant at Peachtree Middle School, so I’m well-seasoned and ready to take on this leadership role at the DHS library. I have a prior career in mental health and school counseling and hope to integrate those skills into my work at the library building relationships with all students and staff. I’m originally from Dayton, Ohio, but I have lived in the Atlanta area for over twenty years. When I'm not at work, I love spending time with family and friends or playing guitar and reading. I’m a huge music and book fan of most genres. As I said, I am fired up to be a Wildcat and cannot wait to join the team officially! I look forward to meeting and working with all of you!

 

Welcome to the Wildcat Family, Mr. Neely!

Colleges are businesses. Learn the business model behind each school.

“I make too much.” “I don’t make enough.” “My grades aren’t high enough.” We’ve heard it all. Learn what’s myth and what’s reality.

✓ Financial Aid System

What is financial aid and where is the real money to target!

✓ How Colleges Use Their Own Money
Where your student falls can determine what they’ll get… or not get.

✓ Private University. Public School Price.
See why some private universities can actually cost less than public schools.

✓ Beyond HOPE
Is HOPE your entire college strategy? Why it may not have to be. 

✓ The Real Cost of College
Learn how to look beyond the published price to understand what college may really cost at every 4yr public and private university.
