This week is National Arts Education Week!
In Demopolis City Schools, the arts are alive! From the creativity of our visual arts students, to the musicians in our band programs, as well as the imagination brought to life on stage in theatre, our students shine through the arts.
We’re proud to celebrate the role that arts education plays in inspiring creativity, building confidence, and shaping well-rounded learners.
Help us celebrate the arts by supporting our arts programs at each school! This week the DHS Tiger Arts Guild will present Romeo and Juliet Extravaganza! The band will be on display Friday night at the home football game and the visual art classes are producing amazing art each and every day!
Demopolis City Schools' Annual Budget meetings will be Monday, Sept. 8 at 10:00 am and Thursday, Sept. 11 at 5:15 pm. There will be a policy work session prior to the meetings. The meetings will be held at the Demopolis City Schools Central Office.
Today, we honor the hard work, dedication, and contributions of workers everywhere—including our incredible teachers, staff, and community members who make a difference every day. 💙
We hope you enjoy a safe and restful holiday with your families. School will resume for faculty and staff on Sept. 2 and students will return Wed., Sept. 3.

Today, the Demopolis Police Department received a series of calls threatening Westside Elementary. The FBI is involved in the investigation, and at this time, we believe the threats were a hoax. At no point was there an intruder on any of our campuses. We will continue working closely with local law enforcement and the FBI to identify the individual responsible.
Out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence at all campuses tomorrow. We plan to operate on our normal schedule.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Demopolis Police Department, Drug Task Force, local FBI, Fire and Rescue, central office staff, school administrators, school resource officers, and faculty and staff for responding to today’s unplanned lockdown and dismissal with professionalism, calm, and care. Your swift actions and unwavering commitment ensured the safety and support of our students at all four campuses.
We are also incredibly grateful to our parents and guardians for your patience, cooperation, and understanding throughout the dismissal process. Your support makes all the difference.
Together, we kept safety and calm at the forefront.
Again, WE WILL OPERATE ON A NORMAL SCHEDULE TOMORROW , Friday, Aug 8.
Let’s start fresh and have a great year!
Because of a threat that was called in to the Demopolis Police Department, we will dismiss all students at this time. Students will be dismissed one at a time in a slow and orderly fashion. Please note ALL STUDENTS are safe. This is being done out of an abundance of caution.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep all children safe.
Please be patient as we conduct this dismissal.
All four campuses of Demopolis City Schools are on a lockdown at this time. This is being done out of an abundance of caution because of a threat situation at one of the schools. All schools and students are safe. We will notify you when the lockdown is lifted.
It is the first day of the 2025-2026 year at Demopolis City Schools, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome our students back to campus! From bright smiles to fresh school supplies, the energy at our schools is high! Thank you to the Demopolis Community for coming out bright and early to cheer on our students !
We’re excited to kick off the 2025-2026 school year! The halls are shining, the classrooms are ready, and our teachers are eager to welcome everyone back. Whether you're returning or starting fresh, we’re so glad you’re here.
