Mr. Mark Willoughby, Our Director of Schools
Office Phone 615-597-4084
        Welcome to the DeKalb County
School System's website. I hope you
will find our website helpful and
informative. Our school system consists
of five schools serving almost 3,000
students. DeKalb County is a great
place to live and work. I feel privileged
to be the Director and have the
opportunity to work daily with some of
best school personnel in our state. Our
state record reflects a high level of
dedication and commitment to help our
students succeed. Parents and
community are valued stakeholders and
it truly takes all working together to
achieve the level of excellence that our
children deserve and need to be better
prepared for a productive future.
