DHS Fine Arts Department Presents Hometown Holley: Mark your calendar! Dublin City Schools' Fine Art Showcase, Hometown Holly, is happening on Thursday, December 14th at 6:00 PM in Dublin High School's Auditorium! Students from across the district will display their talents, and you're sure to leave a bit more in the holiday spirit. Plus, the Big Guy from the North Pole has officially RSVP, so your child can tell Santa what they'd like for Christmas AND see a spectacular show! Plus, it's ALL FREE!
A Big Irish Shout Out to Paris White and DHS Finalists for the Superintendents Christmas Card Contest: Congratulations to Dublin High School Senior International Baccalaureate student Paris White, our 2023 Superintendent’s Christmas Card Contest winner! White’s design will serve as the official card for Dublin City Schools, which will share the greeting with more than 200 communities, state, and national partners this holiday season. Students were asked to create a card that celebrated the season, but also incorporated aspects of our mission, vision, and core beliefs as a Charter School System.
White, along with other DHS finalists, will take home a host of prizes from 19 area sponsors. Our finalists are encouraged to attend tonight's Board of Education meeting to receive their prize packs, and be recognized by the board for their artistic handiwork. Students and their parents should arrive no later than 5:45PM to the Board office located at 207 Shamrock Drive.
Here’s the list of DHS finalists:
Paris White - DHS

Car’Vandryah Bell - DHS
Kennedi Tommie - DHS
