The Dunwoody High School PTSO is looking for an additional parent volunteer to help maintain this website for next school year. After many years of faithful service, we say goodbye and thank you to Christy Keohane as she steps aside for the next wave of DHS parent volunteers. This is a fun and rewarding way to get involved at DHS with a time commitment of less than 1 hour per week, outside of the big Summer update as important information and dates come out for the upcoming school year. We thank our first new volunteer, Mike Iconis, for stepping up to help with the site, and just need to find him a partner to help spread the duties out. Please email dhsptsowebsite@gmail.com if you're interested or need more information.

The Dunwoody High School PTSO is looking for a parent volunteer to serve on the Executive Board as "Treasurer Shadow" for next school year. This is a 2-year commitment. The second year, you'll serve as the "Treasurer Lead." Together, the Treasurers set the budget (with the help of the Executive Board), monitor the budget, keep track of payments and deposits in QuickBooks, pay expenses, and deposit checks. Knowledge of QuickBooks and an accounting background are very helpful. This is a fun and rewarding way to get involved at DHS with a time commitment of about 3 hours a week. Please email dunwoodyhsnews@gmail.com if you're interested or need more information.

Special thanks to the 2024-2025 Leadership Perimeter Cohort for prepping the Senior Courtyard. The area was overgrown and un-usable with broken benches and pavers. The team cleaned out the area to ready it for a facelift, improving our school one step at a time. Thanks to Mr. Fortenberry for the idea and Ms. Mastin and Principal Bass for direction and oversight. Special thanks to our custodial staff as well for helping Leadership Perimeter with logistics and waste disposal.  

Also a thank you to the Dunwoody Garden Club for planting the flowers by the front sign and for Ms. Davis and her students for making sure the flowers were watered and thriving!

Students who are coming from Private Schools or DCSD schools other than Peachtree Middle are invited to meet with Mr. Ingram on June 12th or June 16th at 1PM to review Course Selection information. Copies of unofficial transcripts and 2024-2025 class schedules will assist in this process.
