DHS Weekly Update

11/6/2024

Hello Destroyers

Don’t forget, there will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday, November 7th and Friday, November 8th.

School News and Updates

The cast and crew are putting the finishing touches on the DHS production of 10 Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Performances will be Friday, November 15th at 7:30, and Saturday, November 16th at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10 for students/senior citizens and $12 for adults.

Monday, November 11th is Veterans Day. It is intended to honor and thank all military personnel who served in all wars and during peacetime. In particular, we would like to recognize Mr. Santiago and Mr. Miller for their service in the United States Armed Forces.

A reminder about our ongoing Breakfast program available in the DHS Cafeteria each morning. The breakfast program is a great way to ensure students start the day with a nutritious meal. Students enrolled in the 2024-2025 free/reduced lunch program continue to receive breakfast at no cost.

The Black Student Union is hosting a trip on November 21st to the annual Malcolm Bernard HBCU College fair, the organizers are looking to host Juniors and Seniors who are serious about college being their post-high school plan. Seniors who participate in the fair have the opportunity to receive admission decisions the day of the fair as well as scholarship awards. If interested, reach out to Dr. Best.

Upcoming Events

DHS will be holding its Fall Sports Awards on Thursday, November 21st, starting at 6:30 pm in the DHS Auditorium. We will recognize the accomplishments of our student-athletes in Football, Cheerleading, Cross Country, Boys and Girls Soccer, and Girls Tennis.

Important Reminders

The First Quarter ends today, Wednesday, November 6th. The Second Quarter will start when we return, on Monday, November 11th.

The DHS Homework Help Center runs from 2:45 - 3:45 pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the DHS Tech Center. Students can come to get extra help from teachers with their school work or just sit and have a quiet place to get things done. We encourage students to attend so that they have fewer or no assignments to do when they get home.

Academic Corner

In Mr. Miller’s Geometry - Honors class, they went outside to do some work on the sidewalk with chalk. The students were learning about angle relationships formed by parallel lines and transversals by standing in the locations of vertical angles, corresponding angles, as well as alternate interior and exterior angles. A lot of good learning going on … and fun to be outside in the beautiful weather.
