Teachers and students at DHMS develop meaningful relationships that encourage success. Students are also given the opportunity to explore art, computers, health, music, technology, physical education, foreign language, and a range of elective courses during their years at Drexel Hill Middle School.

Drexel Hill offers a wide range of extra curricular activities, as well. Our instrumental and choral music programs have won recognition at numerous regional competitions.
