Come learn, ask questions, and gain confidence in navigating the digital tools your child uses every day. We look forward to seeing you there!
Lithia Springs High School proudly salutes Robin Thompson, Ed.S., as the DCSS Digital Trailblazer of the Month for September. An outstanding English Language Arts teacher, Ms. Thompson blends technology seamlessly into her lessons—using tools like Gamma, Canva, and NotebookLM to make learning interactive and engaging.
"Ms. Thompson is an amazing educator," said Principal Felicia Jones. "She brings innovation to the classroom and inspires students to think critically, communicate effectively, and build digital literacy."
Beyond teaching, she leads the ELA department with clarity and empathy, guiding peers in weekly PLCs and district-wide professional development. Her dedication continues this fall as she presents at GAETC 2025 on using NotebookLM in ELA instruction. Thompson is more than a teacher, she's a true trailblazer who uplifts both students and staff through her passion for teaching and technology.

Our AP Environmental Science students took their learning outside this week to explore ecological succession right here on campus!
From bare soil patches to the first signs of mosses, weeds, and grasses, students observed how nature begins to reclaim and transform spaces. With time, these areas could grow into thriving habitats filled with shrubs, flowers, and even young trees.
By sketching, photographing, and collecting data, students brought textbook concepts to life—seeing firsthand how ecosystems develop and change over time. A great day of science in the field!
