Vision and Mission Statement
About
George Dawson
Dawson Middle School was named
after George Dawson, a Dallas native who learned to read at the age of 98 and
published a book several years later. Mr. Dawson was an inspiration to everyone
he met and encouraged children and adults, alike, to be life-long learners. He
passed away at the age of 103 but was sincerely honored to have Carroll ISD's
newest school named after him. Mr. Dawson's name was submitted by a CISD student
for School Board approval after meeting him during Dawson's visit to Carroll
Intermediate School.
