- In partnership with City Schools of Decatur, DHA has operated a daily after school program for the past 31 years for Pre-K to fifth grade students, called Successfully Teaching Academic Readiness (STAR), which assists with academic readiness, reading, and computer literacy skills.
- DHA is a steadfast supporter of education in our community.
Some of the School Academic Awards that will be presented today are: Perfect Attendance, Overall Improvement, Honor Roll, Performing Arts, All Around Athlete, Good Citizenship and Outstanding Conduct.
