Honoring Retiring Teachers

This year many of our long-term Druid Hills High School teachers are retiring. We thought it would be really nice if students and parents wanted to honor these individuals with a card. We are going to place a box in the main office for card drop off and if you wish to participate please do so by May 17th. The Retirees are: Trey Palmer - Social Studies Department Rita Robinzine - Social Studies Department Mary Price - Special Education Rebecca Brown - Science Department David Goodwin - Fine Arts Department Maura Nicholson - English Language Learners Department Elsa Burgess - Foreign Language Department Gina Cook - Special Education ParaPro Marlene Aronoff - Media Center Clerk Combined, these individuals have OVER 100 YEARS of teaching experience! They will each be sorely missed in our school community!

REMINDER: Parents are not yet allowed in the school building. You may drop off end-of-year teacher gifts at the DHHS front office with Ms. Moore and she will distribute them!
