Dear DHS staff, students, and families, 

It was wonderful to see all of our students enter DHS for the first day of school! Thank you to everyone who made the return to school a positive experience. To that end, we look forward to bringing joy into our students’ daily experiences at DHS through engaging curriculum, extracurriculars, and fun opportunities/activities during the school day (such as the giant games in the courtyard and treats at lunch like we had this week). Next week, as we begin to dive into homework and tests, we’ll report on resources available to students to ensure their academic goals are met through the school year. 

I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

Sincerely,

Principal Kathryn Anderson
