SENIORS END-OF-YEAR INFORMATION! |
Senior Parents & Guardians, if you are not following the @dhhs2022 Instagram account, you should because that is where the Class of 2022 is putting most of the breaking news on all end of the school year activities and news. |
|
For those of you not on social media, this PDF of basic Senior information known up to now has been prepared by volunteers. Please remember that this is a static document and there is probably newer information out there! We are posting this PDF to be helpful but the PTO did not create it and are not maintaining it.

DHHS tradition is that Junior Class parents host the Pre-Commencement ceremony & celebration for the current year's graduating class. This year's ceremony is Sunday, May 15, at 3 pm in the gym.
This will be the last time most of the senior class is together in the bulilding before graduation.
We will begin setup on Friday, 5/13, then finish Sunday beginning at noon. One of the most urgent needs is for pop-up tents. We need four.

Calling All DHHS Athletes! |
Make plans to attend the DHHS ESPY Awards on May 10, 2022 at 6:30pm, Alfred Uhry Theatre
The Druid Hills Athletic Association invites all DHHS athletes from the 2021-2022 season to join your coaches for an evening to celebrate your amazing success and contributions this season. The inaugural DHHS ESPY Awards!
The ceremony, hosted by Coach George and Coach Bodnar, will be held in the DHHS theatre for coaches, Varsity/JV/9th grade/Club athletes (and their dates!), and live-streamed for families and fans at home to watch the celebrations.
Coaches are nominating for the awards now, and students will vote on the winners prior to the show. Coach George is sharing all the details with students via the morning announcements and DHHS Athletics social media pages.
Attendees should plan to walk the red carpet in style - bring that prom wear back out of the closet, or show off your personal style in a suit, dress or fancy outfit of your choosing. Keep it classy!
Doors open at 6:30pm and the show will begin at 7:15pm. Athletes should plan to arrive on time to walk the carpet, take photos, and grab a great seat in the theatre before the show begins.
Parents and families are asked to help DHAA make this event a night to remember for our athletes by:
* donating to fill our decor and award needs
