Message from the Principal
Dear DHS Staff, Students, and Families,

Whether it was wearing pajamas all day or using a grill instead of a backpack, our Homecoming week spirit days certainly brought some fun and excitement into our hallways! Friday and Saturday will no doubt round out this week as we celebrate with our annual Pep Rally and Homecoming Dance. With record-breaking ticket sales, the dance will certainly be a memorable event. I hope everyone enjoys a safe, healthy, and fun end to Homecoming week!

Sincerely,
Principal Kathryn Anderson
