Mr. Dunn takes his Final Bow at KMHS
Every four years I say goodbye to the seniors as they graduate and head off into the world to hopefully find love and do great things.
It is now time that I move on. I have been selected to serve as the Fine Arts Supervisor for the Marietta City School System.
I will be supporting the art, band, chorus, dance, drama, orchestra teachers and students as we strive to achieve new heights.
It has been a remarkable run here at KMHS. Our accomplishments speak for themselves.
I would like to thank all of the students, families of students, and staff that have allowed me to be part of your lives
for the past 14 years. I am a better person because of it.
I leave you in good hands – Mrs. Parker and Mr. Morris will take excellent care of you and the department.
Mrs. Jacobson will still work her vocal magic with musical theatre.
Mr. Morris will soon begin interviewing for another drama teacher to help continue our legacy of excellence
here at Kennesaw Mountain. Do not settle for anything less.
The new year will be what YOU make it. Make it something incredible.
Be good to each other. Be good to your new directors. Be good to yourselves.
Don’t be afraid to make BOLD CHOICES!
You know right from wrong, and if you deviate from what is right – my ghost will haunt you!!!
I have always said we are bigger than one a person – that includes me.
I look forward with excitement and pride to see what you do next.
WE ARE KENNESAW MOUNTAIN DRAMA!
With much love & respect,
Coy Dunn
