DCHS has announced last Friday this year's Mr. and Miss DeKalb County High School are Seniors Isaac Knowles and Haidyn Hale.

Mr. Knowles is the son of Jared and Karen Knowles, and has played football and baseball the past four years, and plans to be a three-sport athlete this season after making the basketball team. “This is a very large honor considering our teachers thought enough of us to select us to be part of the applicants for it, and it means even more that our student body thought enough of us to choose us for this great honor,” said Knowles.

Knowles wants play football at the college level, and obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in agronomy.

Miss Hale is the daughter of Chad Hale and Melissa Odom, and has been a cheerleader for the past four years. “My freshman year I cheered for basketball, and for the past three years I have cheered for football,” said Hale. “Its very exciting to know our teachers nominated us and our peers voted for us. It’s a great honor to be chosen.”

Hale says she plans to become a dental hygienist after school.

Knowles has been involved with the FFA and FBLA clubs, while Hale is a member of the Beta, FBLA, Climate Crew, and other clubs. Both take honors and dual enrollment classes to obtain college credit through online studies with Motlow State Community College. Both are also straight-A students, and are members of the prestigious 21+Club.
