The mission of Dawson Bryant Local School District is to ensure that each student who leaves the schools is an independent, self-motivated learner, has the basic tools and the self-confidence to be successful in life, and has behavioral traits to be a happy and contributing citizen.
The Dawson-Bryant Local School District is located in the beautiful Appalachian Foothills of Lawrence County, in Southeastern Ohio. The community, in which the school district is located, was once a thriving pig iron and coal producing community. In fact, the village of Coal Grove, the center of the community and district, is named for the coal industry. The pride of the school and community remains as a significant feature of the residents.
Pride in the community is the most significant feature because it continues to be the bond between the residents and their schools. The school buildings are considered to be the hub of the community. School and extracurricular activities are the main source of social interaction between young and old alike.
