DHS Construction Update



If you've noticed the big DHS on the Howard side of the High School, that is progress on the new DHS Career Academy. You may remember that DHS won a competitive federal grant last year (just under $3 million) to do this renovation of the wing that was added on to DHS in the '70s. This grant was received in partnership with Dekalb Technical College. The grant is funding lab updates in the following areas: Early Childhood (Frasier Center), Culinary Arts, Video Production/Communications, Graphic Arts, Engineering/Drafting, Healthcare, and Business. Our students will greatly benefit from state of the art lab space. We will be renovating the old Culinary Arts space into a beautiful new arts suite this summer, as well. We anticipate having the Career Academy open for community classes in the evenings.
