Better Practices not Best Practices

The Dublin City School District fosters a culture of continuous improvement in teaching practices.  One of our three core values is “Embrace the Journey, Always Growing.”  As an organization,we provide professional development opportunities to teachers and leaders, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills to deliver engaging and effective instruction.  We are always improving.  There is no destination – today’s best practices must continue to become better practices.  Our parents, our Dublin Community, emphasize a well-rounded education that includes not only academics but also social-emotional learning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.  

Our commitment to always growing doesn’t only live in our classrooms; it’s part of our DNA.  The Dublin City School District creates a safe and welcoming school environment where all students feel physically and emotionally secure. We continue to implement proactive measures to prevent bullying and discrimination. The district offers counseling services, mentoring programs, and other support structures to address the complex needs of students.

As a district, our Joint Safety Committee, composed of law enforcement and first responders from six different jurisdictions, partners with our administration to keep our school physically safe.  The partnership between the Dublin Police Department and our school district is a state-wide model.  The district’s employment of retired law enforcement officers to assist at the elementary schools is also a model program.  With eight uniformed Dublin Police serving as school resource officers (SROs) in our middle and high schools, our district has best-in-case partnerships and protocols.
