Druid Hills Middle School is a Title I school serving over 900 students in grades 6-8. Our diverse student body includes students who speak more than 30 languages at home. Our library is a vibrant, active space where students can study, read, and collaborate, but it is lacking in technology and needs updated furnishings to make it a more flexible learning space. We circulate more than 2,000 books a month and serve hundreds of students each day, but we are ready to take our research and media literacy instruction to the next level.
