==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<ref>Dawson County Advertiser, Jan. 3, 1935</ref>, around the time a new school building was erected<ref>Dawson County Advertiser, Oct. 8, 1937</ref>. 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<ref>Dawson County Advertiser, Jan. 18, 1962</ref>. 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<ref>Dawson County Advertiser, Aug. 1, 1963</ref>. Not long after settling into the new building, more bad news occurred. Dawson County's gymnasium burned October 24, 1964<ref>Dawson County Advertiser, Oct. 29, 1964</ref>.

Dawson County had no reported black schools in Georgia Department of Education statistical reports from 1932-60.
