Dunwoody High School is a public high school in Dunwoody, an incorporated city in DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. It also serves students in the city of Doraville.
Dunwoody enrolls students in grades 9-12, and is operated by the DeKalb County School System. It follows a four by four block schedule, in which students attend four classes every day for 90 minutes.
In 1988, Dunwoody merged with another local high school, Peachtree High School. Peachtree became a middle school and Dunwoody remained as the high school. Dunwoody's previous colors were crimson and gold and their mascot was the Wildcat. Peachtree's colors were red, white, and blue, and their mascot was the Patriot. As part of a compromise between the two schools during the merger, Dunwoody agreed to change its colors to red, white, and blue, while keeping its wildcat mascot. Prior to the merger, Dunwoody High School had an eighth grade, which is now part of Peachtree Middle School.
The following elementary schools feed into Dunwoody:
Peachtree Charter Middle School is Dunwoody's feeder middle school.
On December 17, 2012, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools announced that it had downgraded the DeKalb County School System's status from "on advisement" to "on probation" and warned the school system that the loss of their accreditation was "imminent." On January 21, 2014, the association announced that the Dekalb County School System was no longer in danger of losing accreditation.
Dunwoody High School offers two career academies through the National Academy Foundation program. The academies provide a combination of school-based curricula and work-based experiences, which include paid internships.
