Druid Hills Middle School

Dekalb County Schools

Special PTA Meeting

Please save the date and join us at a special combined meeting of the DHHS and DHMS PTAs on Tuesday, October 14, 6:30pm in the DHHS Uhry Theater.

As our guest speaker, we are fortunate to have J.Tom Morgan, a nationally recognized expert on the prosecution of crimes against children.  He has appeared on CNN's Talk Back Live, the Oprah Winfrey Show, Court TV, the Today Show, and 48 Hours. Mr. Morgan served as District Attorney for
DeKalb County, Georgia, for twelve years and was the first prosecutor in Georgia to specialize in the prosecution of crimes against children. J.Tom is currently a trial lawyer in private practice in Decatur, specializing in criminal and civil litigation.

He will provide a candid talk to parents and teens about Georgia law, with an opportunity for questions and answers. Please help us fill the house with parents and students from DHHS and DHMS to keep our community safe and strong.

Additionally, Mr. Morgan will speak with DHHS high school students before homecoming and 8th Grade students in the spring, before the end-of -year Social Studies exams, which include questions on Georgia law. To support these great opportunities, please consider purchasing "Ignorance is No Defense: A Teenager's Guide to Georgia Law" for the reduced price of $10 before the October 14 meeting. If you cannot attend the meeting but want to purchase the book, please email Susan Furman at [email protected].
