Reminder: There is no school tomorrow

There will be no school on Monday, January 19th due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Students in Mrs. Gingras's AP Lang/Comp class worked on planting 'Seeds of Self Reliance' in conjunction with some analysis of text in class today!

Mrs. Hansen's DHS English 9 Honors classes explore the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Groups chose to deep dive into a specific character, ultimately creating a (fake) Instagram for that character.

Assistant Principal John Tate introduced Lillyanna Herrera, the DHS Student of the Month at the January Board of Education Meeting #gopurple #bepurple
