FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

A s we continue through the month of February, our students and staff are working together to highlight Black History Month.  It is a wonderful time to recognize the men and women who have been left out of many of our History books.  We take time daily to read short biographies about the men and women who have changed history throughout America's struggles and achievements. 
 
Our teachers are continuing to have thoughtful discussions in their classrooms around empathy, equality, tolerance, unity and respect.  We study the impact famous Black Americans have made on our society.  We feel the societal changes that Jackie Robinson fought through, the injustices that Frederick Douglass addressed, the groundbreaking influence of Thurgood Marshall, and the impact of Sojourner Truth.  Our daily announcements this month highlight their struggles, their impact and their influence. 
 
Our high school students have been working with students across the district to bring Black History to life.  In conjunction with the Delaware African American Heritage Council, our students will present to our student body on Wednesday February 12th through their Art, Music, Poetry, Literature and Dance. A community festival will be that same evening at the Willis Education Center beginning at 6:00pm and will be a celebration that you will truly enjoy!
 
We will continue to work together to make Delaware Hayes High School a better place for all students as we learn, celebrate and share the many good things that connect us and not divide us.  I am so proud of our students and staff for all they do to make our school inclusive, responsive and kind.
