The Dawson County High School class of 2018 won’t be walking across the 50 yard line to get their diplomas. Instead, they will be celebrating the momentous occasion in Dahlonega at the University of North Georgia’s new convocation center. “We are excited to host the 2018 graduation ceremony at UNG's new Convocation Center,” said Principal Richard Crumley. “We are also proud of our seniors for taking the initiative to request the move.” According to DCHS Graduation Coach Stefanie Gibbs, the move was thanks to 235 seniors who approached administration with their desire to move the ceremony to Dahlonega. “They have shown some amazing leadership so far and I look forward to seeing all they will accomplish,” said Gibbs.
