It's time to Rally for the Red Devils! Join us in supporting students at Druid Hills High School.

The Druid Hills Education Foundation partners with existing student support groups (PTO, Druid Hills Athletic Association, and the new Druid Hills Fine Arts Alliance) to ensure funding for student opportunities across the school.

Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated and allow us to support and expand opportunities for ALL DHHS students in academics, athletics and the arts. We also fund a full-time mental health professional in the DHHS counseling office.

DHHS Snack Bar Looking for Volunteers

Parents, if you have a flexible work schedule and would like to get a chance to observe DHHS from the inside, sign up to serve in the after school snack bar once a month! Volunteers serve from 2:45-4:15 with a partner, selling snacks and having fun getting to see kids interact with each other in a student center space in the gym lobby. The snack bar also needs one person to shop and two subs who can serve on an as-needed basis. For more information or to sign up, contact Kim Goldsmith.
