You can also sponsor our event with a monetary contribution in exchange for advertising. We would be happy to send or email our sponsor-level packages.

Race to Nowhere
Dublin High’s PFSO will be hosting a screening of the acclaimed documentary “Race to Nowhere” on Thursday, September 30th at 7:00p.m. (Doors will open at 6:30) in the Little Theatre.
Race to Nowhere is the documentary from a concerned mother turned filmmaker who aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children’s lives.
This remarkable new film shines a light on the price young people pay for this “race to nowhere.” High-stakes testing has replaced meaningful teaching and learning. Cheating is commonplace. Stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant. Many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
Attend a screening and become part of the grassroots phenomenon that is feeding a groundswell for change.
Pre-sale tickets are available for $10 at www.rtndublinhigh.eventbrite.com
Tickets can also be purchased at the door for $15. Half of the screening proceeds will go directly back to Dublin High’s PFSO. Please consider attending. You can gain valuable insight and raise money for our school at the same time!
Thank You from the Administration
The administration at DHS would like to thank parents for their patience during the construction process and our limited parking lot access. Parents are advised to drop off and pick up their students on Village Parkway.
