We promise a safe, orderly, structured and supportive environment wherein we shall recognize, accept and adapt to individual needs and difference. Finally, we shall promote among our students a sense of community, of service, and of harmony, which they will take with them into their future – the future of our nation.

Dunwoody High School's Vision Statement is summarized in the word PRIDE: Personal Responsibility in Developing Excellence.

This translates into:
