Damascus High School has wonderful community backing. It's an extremely outdated facility that has been ignored by the county.
5/7/2025
Overall, it was a good experience as a parent, but I graduated from the school in 1986. I was happy to see that the diversity of the school has improved. I found that the school support staff makes this high school one of the best.
6/3/2024
My experience has been normal throughout my time at the high school. The kids there are peers that challenge you to do your best and the teachers help you through the day. The school was pretty safe during my years except the one bomb threat. I would like to see more funding put into the school.
