Our Story
It’s a Great Day to be a Panther here at Druid Hills Academy! Here at Druid Hills it is our goal that EACH student shows a year’s worth of growth in all subject areas. This is done by keeping our student’s focused each and every day, starting with the way that student’s come to school dressed in uniform. We feel that being a uniform school has created a dress-for-success appeal at Druid Hills. It has improved student achievement, self-esteem, and behavior.
We have a “pantherriffic” staff that is dedicated to the success of all students. Our highly qualified staff has a wide range of experiences from board certified teachers to teachers with advanced degrees. At Druid Hills, we are constantly using technology to enhance global awareness which is embedded throughout our curriculum.
