Every month, each homeroom teacher nominates a student out of their class that consistently exhibits attributes such as being on time, uses their time wisely, takes accountability for their own actions and learning, is responsible, and is respectful to both adults and peers. These students meet all of our S.O.A.R. (Safe, On time, Accountable, Respectful) expectations, give 110%, and have a kind heart. They each received an Eagle of the Month certificate and yard sign.

The DCHS basketball teams will welcome the Livingston Academy Wildcats to town tonight for a district showdown rematch.

The girls game tips off at 6 p.m. followed by the boys game and WJLE will have LIVE coverage with the Voice of the Tigers and Lady Tigers John Pryor.

“Alumni Week” has been observed this week at DCHS much in the same way as homecoming week is celebrated during the football season and each year a member of both the Tiger and Lady Tiger basketball programs are honored with the title of “Baron” and “Baroness” and the presentation of those honors will come between the boys and girls games tonight. The name “Baron” and “Baroness” is taken from Revolutionary War hero Major General Baron Johann De Kalb for whom DeKalb County was named when the county was created by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1837.

In the last meeting between these programs on January 3 the Livingston Academy teams won at home beating the Lady Tigers 62 to 49 and the Tigers 70 to 64.

The Tigers are 10-11 on the season (2-6 in the district) and the Lady Tigers are 11-11 (3-7 in district play). The Livingston Academy girls are 20-3, 7-0. The Wildcats (boys) are 20-2, 6-1.

Nearly every county in Tennessee including DeKalb County ended 2022 with lower unemployment rates, according to the December 2022 data released by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

Eighty-nine of the state’s 95 counties reported rates that decreased in December. Three counties experienced steady unemployment during the month, while unemployment increased in the remaining three counties.

DeKalb County’s jobless rate for December, 2022 was 3.3%, down from 3.8% in November and below 3.4% in December 2021.

The local labor force for December 2022 was 7,537. A total of 7,289 were employed and 248 were unemployed.

Williamson County led the state with the lowest unemployment rate. At 2.1%, the county’s rate dropped 0.4 of a percentage point from the revised November rate.

Cheatham, Moore, and Wilson counties had the next lowest rate in the state at 2.2%. In Cheatham and Moore counties, the December rate dropped 0.3 of a percentage point when compared to the previous month. Wilson County’s rate was down 0.4 of a percentage point.
