Dunwoody High School will name its new press box and additional seating after famed alumnus Ryan Seacrest.
Seacrest graduated in 1993 and was a member of the school’s 1992 AAAA Regional Championship football team.
Beyond athletics, he also became a standout behind the microphone. According to a letter sent to the DeKalb County Board of Education, Seacrest transformed the school’s morning announcements into a full morning broadcast, earning the nickname “The Voice of Dunwoody.”
During those broadcasts, Seacrest frequently spotlighted students, teachers, and parents — celebrating achievements and contributions to the school community.
Since graduating, Seacrest has become one of the most recognizable names in entertainment, hosting national radio and television programs and most recently taking over as host of “Wheel of Fortune.”
To honor his legacy, the school will name its new press box and upgraded seating “Seacrest Stadium.”
The school board approved the renaming unanimously at Tuesday night’s meeting.
Dunwoody High School is currently raising funds to complete the improvements.
