DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – Cleanup continues in Dothan after last week’s tornado caused damage along Ross Clark Circle
Among the hardest-hit areas was Dothan Preparatory Academy (DPA),
As students and staff return to class, Dothan City Schools are prioritizing both safety and emotional well-being.
With the help of Spectracare, on-campus counseling is an option.
And according to the principal James Williams, the students are very resilient.
“Today has been really wonderful,” Williams said. “The kids came in excited, they came in smiling. They came in ready to see their friends, [and] they came in hugging their teachers.“
Many parts of DPA are still undergoing repairs, such as the media center, some AC units and the gymnasium, which had the most notable damage.
Most of the textbooks and technology are still intact, leaving few instructional items destroyed.
With students in good spirits and counseling at hand, most of the school is safe for session.
