- Duluth High School's Athletic Programs enjoyed many successes in 25-26. Our Softball team and Girls Basketball team made the State playoffs and one of our wrestlers placed at the state competition. Our very own Coach Chris Hall was named the 25-26 Region 7 Athletic Director of the Year. We successfully hosted the Area Girls Wrestling tournament and four days of the GHSA State Soccer Championships.
- Students from our National Arts Honor Society led a collaboration with the City of Duluth and Paint Love, a non-profit agency dedicated to empowering youth and strengthening communities through art. Together with Paint Love, our students designed and painted 12 storm drains along George Rogers Avenue in the City of Duluth. City of Duluth Mayor Greg Whitlock presented the work at a beautiful ribbon-cutting ceremony in May.
- The Duluth High School NJROTC had another year of unprecedented success. They participated in 22 Color Guards throughout the course of the school year, including one at the state Capitol, and one at the ACC Women's Basketball tournament. The unit was recognized by the GCPS Board of Education as the Most Improved Unit and enrolled three 8th grade students for the first time in program history. Our cadets provided judging and assistance for the Chapel Hill Drone Competition and our A-Team received an 84% on JLAB Level 2, narrowly missing a chance to compete at Nationals in Washington, DC. Finally, the unit fielded a drill team, a rifle team, an orienteering team, a drone team, and an academic team, all of which are above average to outstanding.

- Our CTAE department enjoyed unprecedented growth and success with Computer Science students earning internships at Microsoft, our Marketing Students winning awards at DECA competitions, our Audio Visual students presenting short films at the GCPS Film Festival, and 100% of our Teaching as a Profession students passing their End of Pathway Assessments.
- Our Student LEAD program works closely with City of Duluth Mayor Greg Whitlock and spoke alongside City Councilmembers at several community meetings this year.
- Since 2018, Duluth's Wildcat Theatre has been blessed with many Shuler nominations and awards!

We are incredibly proud of our Wildcat Theatre team for this well-deserved recognition, and we appreciate the ongoing support of our faculty, staff, and parents in making our theatre program a place where creativity and inclusivity thrive.
- Our Performing Arts programs continue to be among the best in the state. Every group packed the house in performances throughout the school year and earned straight Superiors at LGPE.
