Message from the Principal

Elizabeth Robinson

Dear Panther Families, Students, and Community Members,

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to another exciting year at Dawson Springs Jr/Sr High School! Whether you are a returning Panther or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you as part of our school community. Our doors are always open to parents, students, and community partners who share in our commitment to excellence and growth.

At Dawson Springs Jr/Sr High School, we are dedicated to providing a high-quality education that empowers every student to reach their full potential. Our staff works tirelessly to create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where academic success, personal growth, and lifelong learning are at the heart of everything we do.

Education extends far beyond the classroom. Our vision is to nurture well-rounded individuals who think critically, act responsibly, and lead with integrity. By promoting both academic achievement and character development, we aim to prepare our students to thrive in an ever-changing world.

As we begin this school year, I encourage each student, staff member, and family member to embrace challenges, set ambitious goals, and approach each day with curiosity and determination. Success comes through hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude.

Together, as a united Panther community, we can make this year truly exceptional. Let’s continue to support one another, celebrate our achievements, and create meaningful experiences that will last a lifetime.

Welcome to a new year of growth, learning, and Panther pride!

Warm regards,

Elizabeth Robinson
