We are grateful to you for the "energy" you brought to our pep rally and the to the Shamrock Bowl Friday night. It was indeed, a fun day for us all while at the same time, seventeen students were accepted to SSU. Thank you!

Bus transportation along with an afterschool meal are provided. For More information, please contact Ms. Madison, the school's Graduation Coach at 478-353-8040.
DHS Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month - Thursday, October 5th: Dublin High School Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration at 1:15 PM in the gym. Families and members of the community are invited to attend. About National Hispanic Heritage Month - Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this thirty-day period. Dublin High School will recognize Hispanic Heritage Month with planned activities.
Support Staff of the Year: Congratulations to Ms. Krystal Waller, Dublin High School Support Staff of the Year! We love Ms. Waller and pay tribute to her untiring work as the Family Engagement Coordinator for DHS! She is also the auxiliary coach for the Irish Band among many other duties and responsibilities. Congratulations Ms. Waller!
“Don’t Stop Believing!”
Go Irish!
