School district history
Dawson County High has long - if not always - been the sole high school in Dawson County.
A history of any name changes in Dawsonville school buildings has not been found. The earliest references to Dawson County High in the Dawson County Advertiser are from 1935[1], around the time a new school building was erected[2]. Articles continued to refer to it as both Dawson County and Dawsonville High well in the 1960s.
The 1935 building burned on January 16, 1962[3]. Elementary classes were moved to the VFW, while high school students were educated in the gymnasium. A new building was completed for the 1963-64 school year[4]. Not long after settling into the new building, more bad news occurred. Dawson County's gymnasium burned October 24, 1964[5].
Dawson County had no reported black schools in Georgia Department of Education statistical reports from 1932-60.
