Greetings DeKalb High School of Technology–South Community
Welcome to DeKalb High School of Technology–South. It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the new principal of this exceptional Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) School.
DHST-South is a place where learning is purposeful, hands-on, and connected to real-world opportunities. Our students are engaged in rigorous pathways that prepare them for college, career, and life beyond high school. We are committed to ensuring every student receives high-quality instruction, meaningful support, and access to experiences that build confidence, skill, and character.
As we move forward, we will continue to strengthen our partnerships with families, industry, and the community while fostering a culture grounded in professionalism, respect, integrity, dignity, and empathy. Together, we will maintain high expectations, celebrate excellence, and create an environment where all students can thrive.
I look forward to working collaboratively with our students, staff, families, and partners to build on the strong foundation already in place and to lead DHST-South into an even stronger future.
Welcome to DeKalb High School of Technology–South.
Dr. Emmerson O. Allen
