The DCHS Science department is committed to serving the students of DCHS with the highest quality and most thorough science education in Douglas County. Our highly qualified teachers use laboratory-driven instructional practices to ensure that the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Science are met and exceeded in our classrooms. New students to DCHS should expect hands-on instruction and classroom activities. All students (and parents) are required to sign and will be held to a laboratory safety contract. Every member of our science instructional staff has either completed or is working towards completion of the Flynn Laboratory Safety Certification Course.
