DACC in The News

Upcoming Sophomore Visit Days

 Important Information for Current DACC Students

The Delaware Area Career Center is excited to host visits with area 10th-grade students, known as “Sophomore Visit Days.”. This year, prospective students will be visiting the DACC campus on the following days:

• Friday, November 17
• Monday, November 20
• Tuesday, November 21

Because all DACC staff will be involved in organizing, presenting, and creating engaging learning experiences for the visiting 10th graders, these days will not be “typical” school days for current students.

Current DACC students will be doing one of the following activities on each of these days:

• Attend school as a Student Assistant (only if requested by their instructor)
• Job shadow a professional in their field of study (required at least one of the days)
• Complete a hybrid learning assignment
• Students may also elect to conduct college visits during this time

NOTE: Full-day students will also be given a remote learning assignment to be completed for each academic class for each of the 3 Sophomore Visit Days.

Not turning in required assignments or proof of job shadowing and/or college visits will result in attendance for the day(s) of school missed being counted as an unexcused absence(s).

Please look for your student to bring home Job Shadow Experience documents in the coming days or you can find it here.

We are proud of our programs and believe that we offer unique and valuable educational options for area students. We appreciate your support of this important endeavor.

Spotlight on Mental Health

Mental health is just as important as physical health to our well-being.

DACC hopes to encourage mental health with resources, a positive environment, healthy nutrition, students working on engaging coursework, and more.



Students and parents have access to reach out to our DACC School Counselor, Behavioral Health Specialists, School Nurse, and other staff to get support.

You can dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Please contact Student Services to discuss student-specific needs.
