Dallas County is an excellent school. We have a variety of races, religions, and ages. We don't have any racial controversy, gang violence, or drug problems. All the students get along. Most of the teachers are doing their job very well. Theres always going to be those one or two teachers that only want a paycheck. But overall, Dallas County doesn't get enough credit. Also, we have a great athletic system. Most of our students are involved in a sport. I believe that Queen Morrow has extremely improved our school and I believe she should be our principal.
I am very pleased with most of my daughters teacher and very pleased with Dr. Queen Morrow, the way she handles situations
I really like this school its just the fact that the principal is horrible!!!! The teachers are really great but the principal just seems to mess up the whole school. He is really fake and doesn't really seem to care about the school. He's making high school life go down in the dumps. We also need to have better activites and fun fundraisers that will help the school raise money.
As a student, I commend Mrs Susan Jones on the progress she has made. The former principle, Earl Griffin, showed favoritism tword athletes. Mrs Jones demands that higher standards are implemented, and achieved. She pushes every student, regardless of race, religion, or financial status to do thier best in everything. She cares about every students problems, and wants give assistance. She not only pushes students for academic purposes but for life purposes also. She expects and leads the faculty to perform at the highest level and I commend her for that.
This is a great school. I love it.They taught my child everything
Dallas County High has recently completed the 10 year SACS accreditation study and committee visit. The report is outstanding with the leadership component being ranked as the highest asset of all. Under the current leadership of Mrs. Jones, the school received no citations and a record number of commendations. The administration was especially praised for providing a quality program with so few resources. Achievement at Dallas County High is at an all time high with only small gaps in achievement between ethnicities, gender, and socio-economic status. Students and parents feel that DCHS is a safe environment and students are an active part of daily life.
I think Dallas County High School would be a lot more successful if they got rid of the current principal, Susan Jones. She shows very poor leadership skills and does not represent the school as a whole very well. The Discipline problem at DCHS is gradually growing and increasing.Dallas County once was a good successful school with a reputable reputation it is no longer a reputable school. I think if the current principal Mrs.Susan Jones was gotten rid of the school would gain a reputable reputation for the county.
There is no parent envolvement at all.Mrs Jones,the principal,won't allow it if she doesn't like the student.The education level is great.Though not enough rules are being enforced.But other than rules only being enforced by rascism and prejudice,the academic level is ok.Though the teachers, students, and parents need to get rid of their current principal.She doesnt have any idea as to how to run a school.thats what is keeping everyone from graduating.What does that tell you about DCHS?
