Dothan Preparatory Academy

What is our math team doing?
We are exploring, collaborating, planning, and preparing for bold new mathematical adventures! Fueled by the excitement of our Carnegie Math training and Ron Clark Academy tour, we’re energized, inspired, and ready to make this year our best yet. Get ready—we’re powering up for a phenomenal year of innovation, growth, and achievement!

We would like to thank our Wolf Pack heroes of the United States Army 1-13 Battalion soldiers for vesting their Saturday to bedazzled our campus. Our DPA Wolfpack sincerely thanks each of you for your sacrifice! 🐺❤️

Dothan City Schools is bringing reading, learning, and summer fun directly into the community with the launch of the district’s brand new Backyard Summer Reading Program, the first program of its kind for DCS.

The Backyard Summer Reading Program is designed to keep students engaged throughout the summer through read-alouds, interactive games, hands-on activities, literacy enrichment, free books for students to take home, and free meals for children 18 and under. Meals are first-come, first-served.

District and school leaders will lead read-alouds for students and families, giving them the opportunity to connect with school principals and district leadership in a fun, relaxed, and family-friendly environment ahead of the 2026-2027 school year.

“This program is about creating memorable and educational experiences for our students, encouraging a love for learning, and bringing families together in a positive way throughout the summer,” said Superintendent Dr. Garrick Askew. “We are excited to take learning beyond the classroom and right into our own backyards.”

The Backyard Summer Reading Program will take place at the following locations:

• Wednesday, June 3, 2026 | 11:45 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
Jamison Village, 705 N. Lena Street

• Wednesday, June 10, 2026 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Crawford Village, 602 S. Lena St.

• Wednesday, June 17, 2026 | 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Dothan City Schools invites families to come out, enjoy a free meal, and join Dothan City Schools for an afternoon of reading, learning, and summer fun.
