What Makes Our School Unique?
Dodson Elementary School has played an integral role in the Hermitage community since the 1800’s. The continued support of parents, community leaders, and local businesses has helped Dodson School make the transition from its small, rural beginnings to its role as a community school with five hundred plus students.
The Dodson family is very appreciative of the many opportunities given to us: however, we realize that the backbone of any academic program is a commitment to excellence. The teachers and support staff at Dodson School concentrate on providing a safe, secure, and challenging environment that fosters confidence and success for every child.
