DeKalb County High School was the recent recipient of the TSSAA "Just Do What’s Right" award, which focuses on citizenship, sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity. The TSSAA recognizes member schools that have made the effort to remind their athletic family that there is a particular code of conduct, a particular level of expected behavior, and a way to act that is proper if one wishes to be part of an athletic contest, regardless of how they participate.

"Just Do What’s Right" focuses on the foundation of what the TSSAA hopes all participants will do. Just do what you are supposed to do in representing yourself, your family, your school, and community.

Those schools that received no reported unsportsmanlike conduct incidents during the 2013-14 season have received a certificate highlighting the "Just Do What’s Right" logo and this effort. The TSSAA is recognizing proper sportsmanship at athletic contests, but we all understand that the athletic contests are a small part of the educational program.
