Each year, class reunions are pulled together by volunteer planning committees made up of Dalton High alums.  Some commitees choose to post this info on a class reunion website--click here to enter.   If you do not see your class reunion info here, email the Dalton High counseling office and we will try to get the info you need. 

Homecoming 2008 is on September 26.  The parade will begin at 4pm.

In the latest issue of U.S.News & World Report  to hit the stands (December 10), the magazine features a "best public high schools" list. The ranking formula includes several indicators such as college readiness of students and academic performance of disadvantaged students. Of the 18, 000+ U.S. high schools included in the analysis, Dalton High scored in the top three percent of schools with a ranking of 486 in the overall list, earning a "silver" award designation.

"At DHS, we have high expectations for all of our students," said Principal Debbie Freeman. "Our DHS family, employees and students, are working so very hard and it is exciting to have those efforts recognized in this way. In addition, I believe it is not just recognition of the work going on at our school but the work of the entire school district. We have improved what we are doing at all levels and it is nice to see the results beginning to materialize."
