Help Us w/ a Teacher Snack Bar!
Our wonderful teachers will stay after school on Thursday, October 20, for Parent Teacher Conferences. Your PTO Hospitality Committee is going to provide them with a hearty and fun snack so they can focus on their work!

We are building a trail mix bar and providing whole fruit and sparkling water to round out the treats.

We also need some help to set up and clean up, but this should be done quickly. 
Join the Red Devil Task Force for our first SCHOOL CLEAN UP DAY of the schoolyear!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22nd
9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Meet at the front of the school. We will share a list of tasks ahead of time so you can bring gardening or hand tools.
Sponsor a Red Bow @ DHHS During Red Ribbon Week
In 1988, the National Family Partnership sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Since that time, the campaign has reached millions of U.S. children and families. The NFP and its network of individuals and organizations continue to deliver this message of hope to millions of people every year, through the National Red Ribbon Campaign.

DHHS will kick off 2022 Red Ribbon Week, October 23-31, with red bows on trees around campus. Find out how to sponsor a bow in the flyer to the right.

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.
