State of the Art Facilities

State of the Art Facilities

Located in DeKalb County, we serve approximately 3,700 students in preschool through grade 12, and employ about 400 faculty and staff. Our campuses are some of the finest educational institutions in the state.

Renowned for our exceptional academic performance, consistently exceeding state standards, and earning top accolades for our achievements, each of our schools boasts state-of-the-art facilities, having been recently built or renovated to provide the best learning environment for our students.

Enhancing the 6-12 Campus For Every Student

DeKalb Central Schools is enhancing the 6–12 Campus to better serve every student. The district has completed several major projects that support academics, athletics, and student life. These include new DHS signage, updates to the Vocational Agriculture Shop, a renovated weight room, and a new multipurpose complex with accessible seating. Additional improvements include new bleachers, a press box, a sound system, upgraded Wi-Fi and fiber across campus, resurfaced and repainted parking lots, a new band practice field, and a relocated instructional tower. Roofing maintenance and door replacements have also been completed to ensure safety and longevity across campus facilities.

Looking ahead, proposed new work for DeKalb High School includes a multipurpose activity center, a redesigned lobby and Hall of Fame corridor, and renovations to theatrical and vocal spaces. Plans also feature new band practice and support areas, a renovated vocal and theatrical room, updated student lounges and corridors, new band instrument lockers, and a new band addition. Multipurpose flooring and flexible spaces designed to support student engagement will help create an even more dynamic learning environment.

At DeKalb Middle School, several exciting projects have already been completed. These include corridor updates, new signage, expanded classroom lab space, and improvements to the commons area and music education spaces. Roofing maintenance, door replacements, a new 6–12 tennis complex, and upgrades to the softball area—including new dugouts, a press box, concourse, and fencing—have also been finished.

Future projects for the 6–12 Campus include additional parking and pavilion areas, accessible parking and restrooms, new drinking fountains, and a covered pavilion space. Upgrades to the pole vault, shot put, and discus areas are also planned to enhance athletic facilities.

DeKalb Central Schools is committed to evolving our campus to create a brighter, more innovative future for every student.
