Small High School
The large, traditional high school is not for everyone. That is why Durham Public Schools has been at the forefront in developing small, non-traditional high schools to meet the particular needs of students.
In fact, DPS is considered a state and national leader in the small high schools movement. Students must apply for entry, and much of the work is hands-on, project-based learning with internships and other opportunities for students to become more engaged in learning.
