🎓 Aberdeen School District Among the Best in Mississippi! 🎓

The Mississippi Department of Education announced that the state’s 2024–25 graduation rate reached 90.8%, surpassing the national rate of 86.6%. Even more encouraging, the statewide dropout rate dropped to 7%, reflecting real progress across Mississippi.

We are proud to share that the Aberdeen School District ranks #6 in the state for the highest graduation rate and #4 in Mississippi for the lowest dropout rate!

These results don’t happen by accident. They are the product of high expectations, strong leadership, dedicated teachers, supportive families, and students who are committed to finishing strong.

Aberdeen, this is something to celebrate. Our scholars are crossing the stage ready for what’s next, and that speaks volumes.

It’s Playoff Time, Let’s Pack the House!

Tonight, our Bulldawgs take the court at home in the first round of the playoffs against Amanda Elzy. This is what the season has been building toward, and our team needs the full support of Bulldawg Nation behind them.

🗓 Tonight
⏰ Game Time: 6:00 p.m.
🎟 Admission: $10
Tickets can be purchased on GoFan or with cash at the door.

Playoff basketball brings a different level of intensity, and home-court advantage matters. Let’s show up, show out, and make some noise for our boys as they compete for the next round.

Last night’s playoff loss in Ruleville was not the ending our Ladydawgs hoped for, but one game does not define a season, and it certainly does not define this team.

These young ladies represented Aberdeen with heart, grit, and determination all year long. They showed up, put in the work, battled through challenges, and competed with pride every time they stepped on the floor. That is what truly matters.

Championship programs are built on resilience. You learn, you grow, and you come back stronger. The scoreboard may not have gone our way, but the character, teamwork, and effort displayed all season are something to be proud of.

Ladydawgs, hold your heads high. Your school district and community stand behind you.

The Lady Dawgs and Dawgs went down to the Delta and came back loaded with hardware. 🏅
Region 2 – Class 3A

"Our LadyDawgs showed up and showed out on National Girls & Women in Sports Day. It was bittersweet knowing this was the final Region meet for our seniors, but they did what they’ve always done, competed hard, and finished on top. Our newcomers proved they belong too, bringing home medals of their own.

We’ve come a long way, and the work is showing. We couldn’t be more proud," said Coach Oliver.

As a team, the LadyDawgs finished 2nd overall.
