DeKalb County schools are no longer touting the district as “premier.”

The state's third largest district unveiled a new logo and website Monday. The school system’s old logo – which was initiated by former superintendent Crawford Lewis – called the district “premier.”

The logo now just says DeKalb County school system. Interim superintendent Ramona Tyson decided it was time to get rid of "premier," but she did not say why.

The school system paid $1,200 for the new logo and $4,495 for the newly designed website, district chief of staff Alice Thompson said.

The new website is designed to have a more engaging look and help stakeholders find information easier, Thompson said. Thompson said the redesigned website is a work in progress and additional upgrades will be made throughout the school year.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
