Dr. Michael Overstreet has officially been names the next principal of Dublin High School. A familiar face to the Fighting Irish Family, he currently serves as principal of the Heart of Georgia College and Career Academy.
Overstreet has been in education for over three decades.
He began his career in 1992 as a middle grades teacher with the Dougherty County School System before making the transition to building leadership in 1995. He served as both an assistant principal and principal in the Crisp County School District as well as the Twiggs County Middle/High School principal before making his transition to Dublin City Schools in 2010.
“It’s been a fantastic 13 years. I’m part of the Irish Family, and feel at home,” he said.
Since joining the Fighting Irish Family, Overstreet has served as the assistant principal of Saxon Heights Elementary School, Susie Dasher Elementary School, Dublin Middle School, Dublin High School and Hillcrest Elementary School.
As the College and Career Academy’s principal - a role he’s held since 2021 - Overstreet’s focus has been to “expose students to career pathways and workforce readiness” to ensure the “high achievement and success of all [his] students.”
“Dr. Overstreet has a proven track record both within our district and as a high school principal,” said Dr. Fred Williams, Dublin City Schools' Superintendent. “He is a very capable leader, going above and beyond to bridge the gap between high school and a student’s post-graduation plans. A well respected leader within the Georgia Charter System world, we’re excited to bring his passion for college and career readiness to the students and staff of Dublin High School.”
