My name is Jamie Hill, your new principal!!  I am blessed for this new opportunity to lead our school as a DMS Panther!!  I look forward to meeting many new faces and to reconnect with many parents, staff and students that have crossed paths with me in the past!!  DMS has a rich tradition in the state of Alabama, in our district and across the country!!  Our admin, teachers and staff are outstanding!!  There are so many reasons that lead to our school being the #1 middle school in the state of Alabama in 2021, including ranking amongst the best in the southeast and nation!!
