Dalewood Middle School

What Dalewood Middle School does

Dalewood Middle School is a public secondary school serving students in grades 6 through 8, located at 1300 Shallowford Road in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The school operates under the governance of Hamilton County Schools, the local public school district, and is led by Principal Ms. Shalunda Shackelford and Assistant Principal Mr. Lawrence Crawford. Operating on a standard school day schedule from 7:15 AM to 2:15 PM, the school brands itself with the "Blue Knight" mascot and serves a zoned attendance area of local families. There is no tuition and no commercial revenue model; funding flows from federal, state, and local public education appropriations channeled through Hamilton County Schools.

The school's operational technology stack consists of standard education-sector platforms: PowerSchool for student information management and ClassLink for single sign-on and digital resource aggregation. The school participates in the Hamilton County Schools district-wide one-to-one device program that issues a personal computing device to each student. These are commodity vendor products rather than proprietary technology, and no internal engineering or AI capability is indicated in the available data.

Dalewood's strategic posture under Principal Shackelford has shifted toward career-connected learning and community integration. The school participates in district-level initiatives including the Energy and Quantum Industries Academy at the Franklin-Roberts Future Ready Center (a partnership with EPB and the Hamilton County Mayor's Office announced June 17, 2026) and the Bloomberg Philanthropies $90 million national skilled trades and apprenticeship initiative (July 9, 2026). Complementary efforts include the "Better Together" community engagement initiative and Teacher Appreciation Week programming.
