The Girls’ Golf Team at Douglas County High School has recently attracted statewide attention by being one of only 43 schools in Georgia awarded a prestigious grant. This achievement highlights the team’s commitment to excellence in high school athletics.
“I am elated that our girls’ golf team has been awarded this grant. This support will help us advance our goals one swing at a time as we actively promote, celebrate, and recognize girls’ sports at DCHS,” says Principal Kenja Parks.
Parks explains that high school girls’ sports teams are more than just competitions on a field or court; they are platforms for empowerment, resilience, and camaraderie. She says, “These teams foster physical strength and the development of leadership skills, teamwork, and a sense of identity.”
