- Danbury High School is a public high school in Danbury, Connecticut. Despite Danbury's rather large population of approximately 90,000 people, there is only one public high school, along with several small private schools and one vocational high school. Danbury High School is the second largest high school in the state. The student body of the school is made up of a very diverse population of all races. The school recently underwent an accreditation review by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
- Athletics
-
Danbury High School carries a strong athletic tradition. They are perennial powers in wrestling, boys and girls track and field, and boys cross country. The wrestling, cross country, and track teams have all numerous state titles and New England championships. All three programs are considered to be nationally ranked annually. The 2007 Danbury cross-country team was ranked #1 nationally in the preseason poll and finished 5th at Nike Team Nationals. The wrestling team has won FCIAC titles 20 years in a row and hasn't lost a home match in 10 years. The boys track team has won more meets over the past decade than any other school in the FCIAC. They have several All-Americans on the team every year. They went on a seven year winning streak, not losing a single dual meet, but were successfully defeated by the Trumbull High School boys track team 77-73 in the 2008 Outdoor Track season due to OSS of some of the athletes. Basketball is a growing favorite in Danbury High. The student fan section named the "Hatter's Hooters" has recently been voted the #1 high-school cheering section in Connecticut. In addition, Danbury High School's Cheerleading team won first place at the Cheerleading Nationals CAN-AM in Myrtle Beach in 2009.

"Constructed in 2002, Danbury High School offers one of the finest multi-purpose stadium complexes in the area. Located on the beautiful grounds of the Danbury High School campus, the DHS Stadium is in the heart of Southwestern Connecticut approximately 1.5 miles off of Interstate 84. The DHS Stadium is able to accommodate seating for close to 4,000 spectators for large scale events. The field surface is Astroplay brand filled field turf that can accommodate athletic events in all types of weather. The seven-pole Universal Sports Lighting system, large electronic remote controlled scoreboard, and large heated concession building with bathrooms make the Danbury High School Stadium one of the most impressive venues in the state. The eight-lane Mondo Limited Super X Surface track is one of the finest around with only a few other schools in New England having this top-shelf surface."
