Dunwoody High School

Dunwoody High School is a public high school in Dunwoody, an incorporated city in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. Dunwoody High School also serves students in the unincorporated areas and sections of Doraville.

Dunwoody, with students attending in grades 9-12, follows a four by four block schedule, in which students attend four classes every day for 90 minutes. The school is operated by the DeKalb County School System.

In 1988, Dunwoody merged with another local high school, Peachtree High School. Peachtree became a middle school and Dunwoody remained as the high school. Dunwoody's previous colors were crimson and gold and their mascot was the Wildcats. Peachtree's colors were red, white, and blue and their mascot was the Patriots. As part of a compromise between the two schools during the merger, Dunwoody agreed to change its colors to red, white, and blue while keeping its wildcat mascot. Prior to the merger, Dunwoody High School had an eighth grade, but that is now part of Peachtree Middle School.

On December 17, 2012, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools announced that it had downgraded the DeKalb County Schools System's status from "on advisement" to "on probation" and warned the school system that the loss of their accreditation was "imminent."

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:

    I had a thought for no one’s but your ears:
    That you were beautiful, and that I strove
    To love you in the old high way of love;
    That it had all seemed happy, and yet we’d grown
    As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates. The moment I felt sure I had everything under control would invariably be the moment right before the principal called to report that one of my sons had just driven somebody’s motorcycle through the high school gymnasium.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
