Dixon High School

✨ Our DHS Dance Clinic is coming up! Sign up now and join us for the 12/19 performance at halftime of the boys' JV Basketball game. Forms are due 12/3! 💜

Congratulations to last week's Spirit Stick Award Winner Kristi Arjes!

Athletics/Activities Secretaries are the avid engines that keep school sports running smoothly. Their work is often behind the scenes, but the impact is felt by every athlete, coach, and parent. They make the chaos look effortless! This is the perfect summation of Mrs. Arjes. Thank you for everything you do!

Happy Substitute Teacher's Day!

Substitute teachers are the quiet strength of a school district, stepping in whenever they’re needed to keep classrooms running smoothly and learning on track. They bring stability during teacher absences, ensuring students continue to grow, feel supported, and stay engaged. Their ability to adapt quickly, connect with diverse learners, and uphold the district’s educational standards makes them invaluable partners in student success.

Substitute teachers not only fill temporary gaps—they reinforce the foundation of the entire school system, bringing reliability, professionalism, and heart to every classroom they enter.

Please contact Dianne Frye or Sarah Wilson by email at dfrye@dps170.org or swilson@dps170.org, if you would like to make a donation towards the Silent Auction, so we can get your item on our auction list.
