Academics
Courses
Dulaney offers an array of courses in English, social studies, science, mathematics, and languages.
Outside of these core subject areas, there are also course offerings in art, physical education, health, business education, dance, yearbook, family studies, technology education, vocal music, and instrumental music.[2]
Advanced Placement
Dulaney offers the highest number of Advanced Placement, that is, college-level, courses in Baltimore County.[3] In Spring 2005, 438 Dulaney students took 975 Advanced placement exams. Of this number, 85% scored a 3, 4, or 5 on the exams (5 is the highest score on a scale of 1 to 5, credited as an "A" by many colleges). In the 2004-2005 school year, 67% of seniors and 42% of juniors were enrolled in at least one AP course. Also in 2004-2005, 172 students received AP Scholar designation: 61 AP Scholars; 27 AP Scholars with Honors; 68 AP Scholars with Distinction; and 16 National AP Scholars.
Activities
Dulaney hosts more than 70 different clubs and organizations for its students.[4] Aside from dances and other events, the school offers many extra curricular activities in which pupils may participate, from plays to helping others to sports. Among the clubs are: Peer Tutors, Dulanians, Key Club, Sports Teams, and the National Honor Society. The Peer Tutors help students who have trouble in a wide array of subjects, usually for service hours or National Honor Society points. The Dulanians help adjust incoming 9th graders to the school, and show them the way at orientations, and other events. The Key Club is a service oriented club that meets weekly, and hosts many service opportunities during the year. Dulaney also offers an extensive theatrical program, which performs yearly plays as well as musicals. Dulaney students are also presented announcements through a system that very few schools have. Instead of audio announcements over a PA system, they show the announcements on a news program called "Live on 5 News". Dulaney also has a FIRST Robotics and Vex Robotics team.
