The DHS Academic Booster Club was formed to promote, encourage, and recognize academic excellence at Decatur High School. Students are rewarded in three ways:
First, after each grading period, students on the “A” and “A/B” Honor Roll will be rewarded with an “Honor Roll Party” featuring special food and prizes.
Second, in the spring, Academic Awards are given out to students who have met the criteria for the different awards. The awards consist of Academic Achievement Certificates and Academic Letters/Pins.
Finally, scholarships are awarded to college-bound seniors. The scholarships are selected through a random drawing of all seniors who qualify.
In addition, the Club sponsors a Homecoming luncheon for all current and former faculty members to thank them for all their hard work for our children through the years.

The Academic Booster Club is totally dependent on donations from all parents, teachers and friends who wish to promote academic excellence at Decatur High School. We need your support to make this program a success. You can help by becoming a member through a $10.00 per family dues payment. Just send with your child to school marked for Academic Boosters. We greatly need and appreciate your contributions!

It's a new school year! Look for us today at Freshman Orientation to join Academic Booster Club for the 2017-18 school year. Forms will also go out the first day of school with the beginning of year packets. $10 for a family membership.

Congratulations to the 588 students who were awarded certificates, letters and pins this year. That is a lot of smart kids in one spot! A special congrats go to our five scholarship winners!

Decatur High athletics fundraiser features ESPN’s Greg McElroy The Decatur High Athletic Booster Club is hosting “An Evening with Greg McElroy” on Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Decatur Country Club.

On Tuesday, as part of the Chamber's Excellence in Leadership Decatur-Morgan County program, the Chamber hosted a school superintendent panel discussion featuring Dr. Dan Brigman from Decatur City Schools, Decatur, Alabama, Bill W. Hopkins Jr., from Morgan County Schools, and Dr. Vic Wilson from Hartselle City Schools. The three took questions from the 30-member class on topics including state funding, building up leaders in their school systems, challenges in education and their hope for students of the future. Each of the three systems have partnerships with one another to share facilities, teachers and other resources that focus on student success, and our area is incredibly fortunate to have leaders who recognize the value of working together. Thanks to each of them for their dedication and tireless efforts for our young people!

Yes we have challenges (every city does), but there are so many great things going on in Decatur!
