As excited graduates crossed the stage of the University of North Georgia Convocation Center last night, history was made as the class of 2019 became the 100th graduating class of Dawson County High School. The school, which started with five graduates in 1919, has grown to have more than 250 graduates a century later who amassed more than $1.1 million in scholarships, not including 121 HOPE and 24 Zell scholarship recipients. “As you leave here today, know that you are part of something very special. You are the absolute only 100th graduating class of Dawson County,” Superintendent Damon Gibbs said in his closing remarks.
