Building History
Dallas County High School was established in 1908 but the original building was burned down in 1982. A new building bearing exact resemblance to the first building stands on the school campus.
Along with the new main building, there are additions to the campus, with the 9th grade Success Academy and two gymnasiums, one being used for the basketball and the volleyball teams.
Athletics
Dallas County's most popular sports are football and basketball while including baseball, cheer leading, dance, softball, track, and volleyball. All athletics are competed at the Class 5A level, after competing in the 4A classification for nearly three decades. (with the exception of the 1989-91, 1998-99 and 2006-07 seasons, respectively.)
The football team plays at Martin Field, the smallest 5A stadium in the state of Alabama. Dallas County dominated Plainview 40-7 at Martin Field in the 1990 3A State Championship,.
Marty Smith currently coaches the football Hornets, a position he has held since 2014.
The 2013-14 varsity boy's basketball team, coached by Willie Moore and led by Mr. Basketball William Lee, clinched the 2014 AHSAA Basketball 4A State Championship against J.O. Johnson High School in overtime at the BJCC by a score of 51-48.
