Academies & Programs

ASB - Associated Student Body

The elected officers and appointed students of the Associated Student Body of Dublin High School went above and beyond their roles as leadership students. Their willingness to try and create experiences with limited resources, in creative ways, did not go unnoticed. Their determination to hold events and fundraisers, give students the opportunity to participate in clubs and bonding events, and keep a positive outlook during a mostly distanced year and is something we will never forget. Our sincerest gratitude to these students for being the class to make it all happen. We will never forget their contributions.

The Freshman Mentor Program is an essential part of Dublin High School's goal for building a school culture of acceptance and inclusivity. These mentors volunteered for 90 hours over two years to help freshmen navigate the complexities of high school. On a campus with over 3500 students, it is easy to feel lost in the crowd and these mentors work to make sure every freshman has someone on campus they can go to for support and guidance. The legacy of these mentors is felt long after they have graduated and we are thankful for their dedication.
