School Notes:
  • Druid Hills High School is a public high school in DeKalb County, Georgia; located at 1798 Haygood Drive, northeast of Atlanta, Georgia. It was started in 1919 in the Fishburne Building of Emory University as a school for children of Emory faculty.
  • History: Emory University founded Druid Hills High School in the Fishburne Building on the Emory Campus in 1919 as a K-11 school for children of faculty. In 1928, the school moved to its current site at 1798 Haygood Drive, where it was designed and constructed by the architects Crook & Ivey. In 1959, the elementary students were moved to Fernbank Elementary School, and Druid Hills housed grades 8-12. Between 1974 and 1976, the school was remodeled, and in the fall of 1996, Druid Hills merged with Shamrock High School to become a 9-12 high school. In 1997, Druid Hills became the first charter school in DeKalb County. During the 1999-2000 school year, the school was again remodeled with new lighting, tile floors, carpeting, blinds, white boards, and the complete renovation of the Alfred Uhry Theatre and the gymnasium. The Druid Hills charter ended in 2002 and was not renewed. In 2004, Druid Hills applied to participate in the International Baccalaureate programme. The school received acceptance into the program on July 9, 2004 with authorization to begin the program in the fall of 2004.
  • Accreditation: Druid Hills is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Georgia High School Accrediting Commission.
  • International Baccalaureate: Druid Hills was accepted into the IB Programme on July 9, 2004, and began the program in the fall of 2004. The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year program for 11th and 12th graders who want an academic challenge and a diploma recognized by universities throughout the world. Students earn the diploma by taking six subjects and doing three special features: an Extended Essay, CAS service hours to the school and community, and a course named Theory of Knowledge, focusing on an introduction to epistemology and ontology.
  • IB Higher Level (HL) courses at Druid Hills include Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, History, and English.
  • Advanced Placement: Advanced Placement (AP) courses include Biology, Chemistry, Art, Calculus (AB and BC), Psychology, American History, American Government, European History, English, German, Spanish, Latin, and French.
  • Fernbank Advanced Studies: Fernbank Science Center offers a variety of courses, known as “Advanced Studies” courses, available for all DeKalb County students. These can be taken instead of or in addition to each semester’s fourth period.
  • Alfred Uhry Theater: When the Druid Hills Theater was renovated under the non-profit Uhry Theater project organization, the modernized theater became known as the Alfred Uhry Theater after the playwright Alfred Fox Uhry, a Druid Hills alumnus from 1954.
