Message from the Principal

Dear DHS staff, students, and families,

Congratulations to our juniors who completed the Illinois Science Assessment this week! In approximately one month, we'll return for the state-required PSAT and SAT for grades 9-11. This week, students in grades 9-11 signed into the College Board's online platform to ensure their chromebook or personal laptop is ready for the new digital test. Know that students have access to free practice tests on the online platform prior to the April test date.

A special thank you to student council for hosting Mental Health Awareness Week last week. It was a great week to talk openly about Mental Health and to enjoy shamrock shakes, rock painting, therapy dogs and much more.

Lastly, as a friendly reminder to students, only those students with an approved parking pass are allowed to park in the parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation!

Sincerely,

Principal Kathryn Anderson
