I attended and enjoyed how the school promotes learning for one's future, especially through the Project Lead The Way and Youth Apprenticeship Program. However, the mathematics in both the school and the system are way below par, and I continue to struggle in my higher education and career because of a lack of proficiency in basic math skills that were often ignored at the school.

I went to DHS and I loved it. Most of the teachers are there because they love teaching. The only problem I saw there was the overcrowding. They had to put some mobile homes outside the shcool because the students didnt fit in the classrooms. Also, they need to use some of the money that goes to the football team and give it to the soccer team. DHS has a great soccer team but most of the attention goes to the football team.

Dalton High is providing an excellent education for my child. The classes are challenging and the teachers encourage her to excell. There are also a variety of electives to meet the varied interests of the student body. The principal is very responsive to parents and provides wonderful leadership for the students and the teachers. I will be proud to say my child is a graduate of Dalton High.

I am a graduate of Dalton High School and feel that it was beyond excellent. The teachers were amazing!! I can not say enough good things. I took many AP classes and each teacher took the time to make sure that each student understood each concept before moving on. They are personable and besides being teachers they really make an effort to be friends inside and outside of the class room. I never realize until I got to college just how prepared I was. Seeing many of my friends struggle in the area of English really made me glad that I had such a good foundation in it. Besides the class work, I also feel that DHS provided me with an opportunity to grow in my social life. I was able to be sorrounded by great diversity and learned tolerance of others very quickly.

I am a student of Dalton High school right now. I would have to say that I love Dalton High School more than any other school I have gone too because I have gone to many schools. The teachers really care about us and there are free tutoring programs during school and after school. The after school one is also going to start taking kids on field trips to get hand on learning. Our athletic programs are great! Everyone can join a sport. They are renovating the schools to make them better. The guidance counselors really care about us teens because if there is a problem they call you up and even offer to change some of your classes. There are manny techical prep classes available for your child. Like Child Development, Automptives, and Fashion Marketing. In Child Development you work with toddlers and Automotives you work with cars.

Yes, Dalton High is a great school , but like many others it can be a let down. If you aren't on the football field or parading around in a cheerleader skirt you are nothing. It is amazing on how much support is received in athletics. The school is very large and you would have to do a lot to stand out. As far as academics, the school is great. Parents, in order foe you child to get recognition be ready to make large donations to the football team. ha just joking

I also graduated from Dalton High and think it is an excellent school. The teachers are very committed and will do whatever it takes to serve every students individual needs. The coaches are great people and are devoted to teach their athletes to excel on the field, in the classroom, and as citizens in the community. They are also willing to help, support, and encourage any student in any way possible. When entering college I became aware of the fact that my school had me well prepared, and my assignments were often easy. All athletic teams are at the top of their class.In my opinion Dalton High is a great school.
