Denmark High School is a public high school in Forsyth County, Georgia, United States. The school's groundbreaking was on May 25, 2016,[3] and construction was completed in July 2018. Denmark was opened with the main purpose of relieving the issue of overcrowded schools in South Forsyth High School and West Forsyth High School.,[4] with whom it holds current rivalries. It is named after the late Leila Daughtry Denmark (1898–2012), who was one of the first female pediatricians in Georgia and retired in 2001 at the age of 103.[5][6] The school opened with an initial enrollment of 1,300 students, and only served grades 9–11 in its inaugural year. As of the 2019–2020 school year, its enrollment figures currently stand at 1,900. It is the largest public high school in Georgia by campus area, with a size of 110 acres.[3]
