Welcome to the Department of Curriculum and Instruction for the Dougherty County School System. Guided by the DCSS Strategic Plan and united under our theme, One Team, One Mission: Student Success, we are committed to creating a culture of excellence where every student is equipped to thrive academically, socially, and personally.

Our work centers on equity, innovation, and collaboration. We design and implement curriculum frameworks that challenge and inspire, support teachers with the tools and professional learning they need, and ensure that instruction is aligned with rigorous standards and best practices. Together, we are building classrooms that foster curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity while preparing students with the skills necessary for success in college, career, and life.

As one team, we believe in working side by side with educators, families, and community partners to ensure all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities. Grounded in our Strategic Plan and strengthened by our collective vision, we are moving forward with unity and purpose to achieve excellence for every student, every day.

Join us as we move forward with unity and purpose—driven by our mission, grounded in our vision, and committed to excellence for every student, every day.
