Congratulations Ms. Rachford
Congratulations to Ms. Rachford for being selected as a PhysTEC Teacher of the Year from Georgia State University!
Teachers - Accurate Attendance is Key! - from Dr. Jackson
It is essential that you take attendance daily for each class period. Dr. Jackson uses inconsistent attendance patterns over the course of a school day as one means to identify truant students. When you do not accurately record student absences (when other teachers do), the student is flagged for administrative investigation. Inaccurate attendance results in instructional time lost for the student (who is already behind in class due to the absence).
If you are absent, please leave instructions for the sub to take attendance every period and return it to the Attendance Office.
Thank you!

Red Devil Athletic Updates
- Boys Basketball: Druid Hills fought valiantly but lost to Perry Saturday night in the first round of the state playoffs, 56-72. Congratulations to the team for their accomplishments this season.
- Boys Soccer: Druid Hills gave coach Thomas Bodnar a lovely Valentines Day gift by beating Paideia 2-0. Team Captain Luke Narker fired the opening goal from close range, followed just minutes later by sophomore Menkaseh Tokpah's deft goal into the side netting. Goalkeeper Josh Lloyd and the defense maintained a clean sheet yet again. Later the same week, the Red Devils overcame N. Oconee 1-0 in a tense contest. Solid defensive work by Matt Overstreet, Max Simpson, Will Johnson, and GK Josh Lloyd kept the opposition at bay. In the 77th minute, senior Luke Narker was fouled in the penalty box, earned a penalty kick, and scored the game's only goal to give the Red Devils an unbeaten 4-0 streak in the region.
