Superintendent provides more details on upcoming DPS middle school transition

As Dalton Public Schools prepares to overhaul their middle school model for the 2027-28 school year, Superintendent Steven Craft provided updates and more information on the transition during a community meeting at Blue Ridge School on Tuesday. The meeting was the first of four scheduled information sessions set to take place at schools within the district, with another being held Wednesday at Hammond Creek Middle School. The final two meetings are set to take place at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at Park Creek School and Thursday, Nov. 19, at Dalton Junior High School. While talking to a full cafeteria of district parents and students, Craft said the school system’s current middle school model – which features Hammond Creek Middle School offering sixth- and seventh-grade classes and Dalton Junior High School offering eighth-grade courses – will be transitioned into two true sixth- through eighth-grade middle schools for the district beginning in August.
