YOU REALLY SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT FOR OUR STAFF! THANK YOU!! |
Our annual PTO Sweets and Treats for Teachers and Staff Day this past Thursday, December 8th was a ROARING SUCCESS, thanks to you!
The DHHS Front Office was transformed into a sweet-smelling bakery by the 170 DOZEN sweets & treats that you provided for our faculty and staff, DHHS! WOW!!
We also had an amazing turnout of volunteers, not only for baking and delivering the treats but for organizing, helping box, and even delivering everyone's choices.
Everyone was so excited and appreciative of this holiday show of love. THANK YOU!
Mr. Brett Flater said "The cookie bar yesterday at DHHS put on by the PTO was AMAZING! I walked in and said that I literally felt like a kid in a candy store. It also led to me not eating much of my lunch! Those little things (that I know are not little at all to organize and put together) really do make us feel appreciated and are so nice. Please pass on my gratitude to the PTO for that!"

Mr. Joyner and the front office staff need help to direct traffic, manage bus information, and generally support their work throughout the day.
The most important time to be present is from 7:30 am to 8:15 am, as this is when most of the action is happening. If you sign up for an early shift, please plan to arrive promptly at 7:30.

SIGNIFICANT SUMMER 2023 ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES TO CONSIDER NOW |
|
The Georgia Governor’s Honors Program (GHP) is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school students who will be rising juniors and seniors during the program. The program offers instruction that is significantly different from the typical high school classroom. It is designed to provide students with academic, cultural, and social enrichment necessary to become the next generation of global critical thinkers, innovators, and leaders.
|
|
|
GHP is held in mid-summer (mid-June to mid-July) as a residential educational experience on a college or university campus. Students attend classes in the mornings and afternoons in specific areas of study, and they participate in a wide variety of social and instructional opportunities every evening. Meals and rooms are provided by the program. The only required and expected costs to the students are travel expenses to and from the interviews; a few basic supplies for classes and dorm rooms; and spending money as desired during the program.

GHP Application Deadline: JANUARY 11, 2023 |
