In addition, the DHS Athletic Booster Club is pledging to gift an additional $50,000 to the DHS Athletic Department to be paid in 2023 as a supplement to support District 113’s plan to replace existing scoreboards on the DHS campus and/or enhance the digital scoreboard on Adams Field. The Athletic Department and Booster Club will have more information on a construction timeline and specifications in the coming weeks. If interested in advertising on the digital scoreboard, please contact larryletwat@gmail.com

VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: Athletico - By now we have all begun to adapt to our new lifestyle amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It is pretty remarkable how quickly we can alter our daily lives to fit the ongoing changes that 2020 has brought on. For better or worse, much of these changes are centered around technology. We now rely heavily on platforms like Zoom and Facetime for e-learning, working virtually from home, and even connecting socially with family and friends. Though technology has made all of this possible, it does have one major downfall: promoting poor posture. Click here to learn more! Athletico remains open to provide physical and occupational therapy treatment options in-clinic and online during COVID-19. Delaying treatment could mean additional expenses and prolonged pain. Click here to request a free assessment in-clinic or virtually through our telehealth platform today and start feeling better tomorrow.
