Superintendent Craft speaks on new commitments, implementationsHundreds of educators, staff members and administrators across Dalton Public Schools entered the “big top” as they filed into Dalton High School’s gymnasium as part of the district’s 2026 convocation on Friday, July 31. We also had a state kindergarten winner for the Young Georgia Authors (Asa Anderson) and Dalton High School won their eighth state championship in soccer since 2003.” Email newsletter signupCraft said the 2025-26 year also featured several schools receiving acknowledgement from the Georgia Department of Education, with Dalton High School, Dalton Junior High School and Roan Elementary School being named Math Leader Schools, and Brookwood Elementary School, City Park Elementary School and Roan Elementary School being named Literacy Leader Schools. The state law calls for one in every elementary school based on the size, but we have six elementary schools and we’re funding four of them locally. “Those are the two best days of the school year – at both Dalton High and The Dalton Academy – when you see those kids walk across the stage,” he said.
