Dear DCI School Community,

Welcome back to the Dispatch! We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing break.

We are thrilled to share that U.S. News & World Report released its latest rankings of the nation’s best high schools and DCI is one of the District’s top five high schools! 

From WTOP: “The national rankings evaluate about 18,000 public high schools across the country. It uses multiple metrics that show students with ‘outstanding outcomes’ in state assessments in multiple subjects that will prepare them for college.”

This outstanding recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, faculty, and staff. DCI's ranking among the city's best high schools highlights how our rigorous and well-rounded IB for ALL education equips students with the skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. 

This achievement belongs to our entire DCI community. And we have many upcoming opportunities to celebrate! In addition to promotion and graduation activities, we want to remind you of the following events:

The DCI Athletic Booster Club's Annual Fun Run and Walk on Sunday, April 28th. Join the DCI community and friends to walk or run through Rock Creek Park, then socialize at the community picnic with food trucks and games on DCI's front lawn! There’s still time to register!

DCI’s 10th Anniversary Casino Night Celebration on June 1st. Casino Night is an 18+ event and will feature popular table games, including Blackjack, Double Roulette, and Poker. The evening will feature a fun casino vibe, food and drink, and a special speaking program reflecting on DCI's 10-year milestone. Tickets are now available for purchase!
