Hart County Charter School System Athletic Director Cory Dickerson has received a top honor for his continued excellence and dedication to student athletes.
On Wednesday, the school system announced Dickerson as the latest recipient of the 2024-2025 Region 8AA Athletic Director of the Year.
The recognition, decided by vote among all schools within Region 8AA, is granted to Dickerson for his “dedication, leadership and outstanding contributions to the region’s athletic programs.”
Under Dickerson, among other significant athletic achievements and scholarships for student-athletes, Hart County athletics has seen multiple state champions in track and field, impressive playoff runs in girls’ and boys’ basketball, a state championship in middle school cross country, a top-five placement in state in high school cross country, multiple region champions in traditional wrestling and state placers, a playoff appearance in football.
“Coach Dickerson’s leadership has elevated our athletic programs and inspired our student-athletes to excel both on and off the field. This recognition by his peers across the region speaks volumes about his dedication, vision, and the respect he has earned throughout the state,” Hart County School System Superintendent Jennifer Carter said. “On behalf of the Hart County Charter System, we are incredibly proud of Coach Dickerson and this well-deserved honor.”
In March, Dickerson also will be honored by the Georgia Athletic Directors Association during an annual conference in Athens, according to school officials, which called the recent recognition “a testament to his commitment to excellence in athletics and the positive impact he has had on student-athletes across Hart County.”
