We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Dunlap High School was definitely some of the best years of my life. I met so many new people and I was taught by a range of teachers! I love how it feels like home and hopefully that never changes!

I loved my expierence at DHS. I always felt like they were people around me supporting me, and the teaching staff always tried to help me be successful. DHS was always clean and inviting, and plenty of extracurricular activities to do giving students the chance to participate in so many different things. I do wish that DHS had more hands on classes, for example a wood shop class, or a class that used construction tools. I will always look back on my memories at DHS fondly.

Dunlap high school helps students prepare for college and further life experiences. Teachers and faculty provide support and guidance for the future. I would like to see more diversity within students, variety of classes, and more safety features installed within the building.

My kids graduated from DHS in the late 90s. One of them did great and one barely graduated. The one who did great would have excelled anywhere; they fit the model of what DHS wants and supports in a student. They took advantage of the advanced classes and even earned college credit while still in hi...
