Mission
"We are all about DODGE: Dedicated to Our Desire to Graduate Everyone."[3]
Much of this goal has been accomplished through the variety of courses and options made available to students. Dodge County High School is a SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) and GAC (Georgia Accrediting Commission) accredited school, where students can work towards a College Prep, College Prep Plus, Tech Prep, Tech Prep Plus, or Community Achievement Program diploma. Course work within these areas may include such innovative programs as EMAC (Educational Media Academic Courses), which consists of foreign language offerings in Latin, German, and Japanese, and often institutes video or phone lessons.
The Georgia Accel Program offers postsecondary options with Middle Georgia College and Georgia Aviation and Technical College. Apprenticeship programs are offered to students pursuing a Tech Prep or Tech Prep Plus diploma. Apprenticeship areas include teacher cadet, child care, heating and air, aircraft-sheet metal, and health occupations, and are offered through dual enrollment with Heart of Georgia Technical College. The Instructional Support Department offers special education students the opportunity to get work site experience in addition to their regular courses of study.
All students are given the option of taking coursework during traditional hours, or they may take advantage of flexible scheduling, which allows them to begin their school day one hour earlier. During this time, students may work in elective areas such as journalism, driver’s education, child care, video art, and NOVANET, which is used as a credit recovery program to encourage students to graduate on time, and/or for some students to get ahead with certain courses.
