Athletics
Dacula High School has produced many athletes. The school has had major success in nearly all the athletics it offers.
Dacula's 2014-2015 football team was the first to become Region Champions in Class 6A Region-8 since 2005. After going 1–4 in non-region play, the Falcons of Dacula were determined to turn their season around, thus leading to their eventual claim of being the GHSA Region 8-AAAAAA champions, in 2016. The Dacula Falcons would go on to finishing their 2017 regular season with a dominating win against Region 8-AAAAAA foe, Winder-Barrow, by a score of 47–14. After starting the season 1–4, the Falcons would go on to win another region championship, and will prepare for the state playoffs, for the second consecutive year.
The Dacula Falcons baseball program made the GHSA State Playoff appearances in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1989, 1991, 1992, 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2014.
The Dacula basketball program won the 1938, 1945, 1954, and 1979 GHSA State Championships.
In 1993 the Dacula wrestling program took home its first State Championship.
In 2014 the school added lacrosse as part of the athletic program.
In 2016 Dacula launched its stadium renovation project. Parent volunteers and Boyce Design and Contracting pitched in on the work and supplies, saving the school thousands of dollars and giving the stadium an impressive facelift.
Band
The Dacula Falcons Marching Band wears navy blue and white uniforms with matching gauntlets and gloves. The Marching Band is composed of Concert Band members, Symphonic Band members, and Percussionists, but members of these bands are not required to join Marching Band.
