David Posnack Hebrew Day School (DPHDS) high school students
have a variety of specialty groups that they can join to deepen
their academic learning, critical thinking, problem-solving, and
leadership skills.
Student Government
The high school boasts an active student government. The
students are represented by a school-wide executive board,
consisting of a president, vice president, secretary, and
treasurer. In addition, the executive is joined by
representatives of each grade, the heads of other clubs and
student organizations, as well as representatives for
Tefillah and Judaic
