“We are incredibly proud of our DeKalb County Schools Class of 2025 graduates and their impressive scholarship earnings,” Horton said. “Their success shows what’s possible when adults create Intentional systems that empower students to thrive. Being purposeful truly makes all the difference.”
Under Horton’s leadership, DCSD introduced the Post-Secondary P.U.S.H. Plan to increase college and career exploratory opportunities for all high school scholars this year. Through the P.U.S.H. Plan, the
