Out of an abundance of caution and following DCSD’s lead, the Druid Hills High School Auction Committee has made the decision to delay our Paint the Town RED! benefit fundraiser until March 26, 2022. We believe that planning a springtime event will give us a better chance to gather in person safely and celebrate our wonderful DHHS community. We look forward to seeing you then!
Please plan to join us then at the Lake House in Avondale to raise funds to support our students. Same event, same place, different date!
In the meantime, keep those donations and sponsorships coming in! We need your individual and business donations — and ask your favorite business to make a donation or purchase a sponsorship!
-------------
You can still make your individual and business donations! DONATE items for the auction itself! SPONSOR Auction party expenses! ASK your favorite businesses to DONATE to or SPONSOR the Auction!
|
|
-------------
We are so grateful to our community
business & family sponsors!
Their generosity allows us to cover event costs and direct all auction proceeds to academics, arts, and sports at DHHS and DHMS.

We Encourage You to Consider Signing Up for FREE Weekly COVID-19 Surveillance Testing |
|
The Department of Student Health Services in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Public Health is excited to bring Surveillance Testing to our district! Surveillance testing is a safe, effective way to limit the spread of COVID -19 and continue to keep schools open for in-person learning. COVID-19 testing is not mandatory and is being offered to protect students, staff, family members, and our community. Weekly school-based and district-wide testing will quickly detect, trace, and isolate COVID-19 positive individuals. Following recommended guidance will also reduce further exposure. The current safety measures in place, combined with testing for staff and students, will lower the risk of transmission and allow more consistent access to in-person instruction for our students.
What is the test?
The testing is a nasal swab test (a short swab no longer than a typical Q-Tip) and takes only a few seconds to collect. The testing will be conducted by an approved testing provider through the Georgia Department of Public Health.
The Free Testing Program is available to all students, even if they are fully vaccinated.
|
|
Please IMMEDIATELY call the school at 678-874-6302 if your child tests positive for COVID-19, which will allow the school to initiate its procedures for notifying close contacts. As always, if your child is not feeling well, please keep them at home. DO NOT SEND SICK STUDENTS TO SCHOOL.
Learn more about the District's COVID-19 policies here.

-
All people age 5+ are eligible for free vaccinations -- the single best way to prevent infection, sickness, and hospitalization. Find a vaccine here.
-
Free COVID-19 tests are available at Viral Solutions, Walgreens, and many other places.
-
In accordance with CDC guidelines, wear a mask consistently and correctly.
- Let's work together to keep our children, families, and community as safe as possible
