Denmark High School is a public high school in Forsyth County, Georgia, United States. It serves grades 9–12 for Forsyth County Schools.
The school's groundbreaking was on May 25, 2016[4] and construction was completed in July 2018. Denmark was opened with the main purpose of relieving overcrowding in South Forsyth High School and West Forsyth High School,[5] current rivals of the school. It is named for the late Leila Daughtry Denmark (1898–2012), one of the first female pediatricians in Georgia, retiring in May 2001 at the age of 103.[6] [7] The school opened with an initial enrollment of 1,300 students, and only served grades 9–11 in its inaugural year. As of the 2022-2023 school year, its enrollment is 2,391 students.
