It Means More: The Stories Behind Dothan City Schools
At Dothan City Schools, education isn't just about lessons learned within the classroom walls—it's about fostering a community where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. Our "It Means More" podcast highlights the dedication, innovation, and heart that goes into every aspect of our schools. Whether it's the extra time teachers spend to ensure every child succeeds, the partnerships with local businesses that create real-world learning experiences, or the commitment to providing a safe and inclusive environment, at Dothan City Schools, we believe education should do more than inform—it should inspire.
