DuPont High School Alumni Association

We hope your visit brings back pleasant memories of your years at DuPont High.

ANNUAL ALUMNI REUNION SET FOR AUGUST 1st
     That time will soon be here again — time to greet old and new friends at our 32nd Annual Alumni Reunion, and we need you there to make it bigger and better than ever.
     If you were a student or teacher at DuPont High School in Old Hickory or DuPont Senior High in Hermitage, you are invited to attend this event.
     All alumni from the classes of 1929 to 1988 are invited. In fact, you don't need to have graduated from DuPont High — just attended. Come and invite your high school friends and classmates to join us.
     As we receive reservations, an attendance list is updated, so see who's planning to attend this year.

ALUMNI DIRECTORY (A Limited Quantity Is Still Available)
The Association has published our first All Alumni Directory. It has been shipped to almost 1,200 alumni who placed their order in early 2008. The contents of the directory is divided into four sections: Biographical, Geographical, Class Roster, and most importantly the Introductory Section showcasing the school’s history and events.
For more information, or to order your copy at a special price of $50 before they are all gone, click here. Copies are also available at Shipman's in Old Hickory.

DuPont High School was organized in Old Hickory in 1926 as a two-year high school with three teachers and sixty-three pupils, and was housed in the DuPont Grammar School building. A third year was added in 1927 and a senior year in 1928. The first graduating class was the class of 1929. In 1930, a new high school building located at 2001 Hadley Avenue (now Old Hickory Blvd.) was constructed. In November 1967, the high school building was completely destroyed by fire. In the fall of 1969 a Senior High School, retaining the DuPont High name, was completed on Tyler Drive in Hermitage. Today, the Tyler school is a Middle School and the DuPont-Hadley Middle School is located at the original Hadley Avenue location.

ALUMNI OF THE MONTH
Each month, we profile an alumnus/ae who has been recommended by fellow classmates for his or her accomplishments, activities, and/or outstanding contributions. If you have someone you would like to recommend, send us the information and why you think they should be "Alumni of the Month."
