We invite you to be a part of the 2023 DHHS Benefit Auction on Saturday, March 4, 2023.

Hosted by the Druid Hills Education Foundation, this year’s auction will support academic, arts, and athletic programs, including the efforts of the DHHS PTO and the Druid Hills Athletic Association (DHAA).

Druid Hills High School is a Title I public school with a socioeconomically and racially diverse student population of approximately 1,400. Like many public schools across America, DHHS faces a funding gap, with our real needs far outpacing the resources available from all sources.

Please consider supporting our students, the future of our community, through your auction sponsorship or item donation.

DHHS PROM SLATED FOR SATURDAY, MAY 6th

Georgia Tech will be hosting an open round of the 17th North America Computational Linguistics Open Competition (NACLO) this year for high school students.

Why should I take the NACLO?

Because it’s fun! Although a 3-hour test may not sound like the greatest time, NACLO problems can actually be very engaging and interesting. If you’re someone who likes logic puzzles, then you’ll probably enjoy trying to solve the NACLO questions. It’s also a great way to learn a little about linguistics, a field with applications in many different areas, from education and history to computer science and technology. The NACLO is a fun way to introduce yourself to linguistics and see if you’d like to learn more about it in the future. (-- Testimony from a previous NACLO participant and a current GT student)

The Open Round will be on Jan. 26, 2023, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., and the Invitational Round will be on March 16, 2023, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Student registration deadline: January 23, 2023.
