Stephenson High School (SHS) is a public school that serves grades 9–12 in the unincorporated area of DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. It has a Stone Mountain postal address but it is not in the city limits.[2][3] It is part of the DeKalb County School District.

Stephenson High School is in the old historic area near Stone Mountain. The main campus is five acres. The school has an enrollment of 1,323 students.

Facility and curriculum

SHS has a 500-seat theatre equipped with two full-size dressing rooms, computer-operated lights and backdrops, an orchestra pit with hydraulic lift, and a catwalk. The Atlanta Theatre Organ Society donated and installed an organ with full piping. Stephenson is one of three schools in the country to house such an organ, and uses it for musicals and concerts.

Students study horticulture, landscaping, and botany in an outdoor classroom which includes a waterfall and two greenhouses.

The school offers a broadcast and media production curriculum. The program components include JAG 8 News, SHS's television station; Jaguar Enterprises, which shoots, edits and produces programs for community members; and Jaguar Records, a recording label.
