It's time for Class Elections. If students are interested in being a class officer (President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer) now is the time to help the class and run for office.

If students are interested, they should either email or go to see the Grade level adviser.

Anyone wanting to run for office, must notify the adviser by the end of the school day on Tuesday, Sept. 16th. Those running will be expected to give a speech before their class on Thursday, September 18th. Elections will be held on Friday, September 19th.

Congratulations to Junior Caitlin Wallace, as she spent a summer filled with new opportunities around the United States.

She also participated in a Youth Leadership Institute, held at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, providing her the opportunity to experience an Ivy League campus and discuss national and international issues.

Congratulations to the Destroyer athletic teams as they started competitions and have added victories to their totals. 

The Boys Soccer team is on a 2 game winning streak after beating Highland Park and JFK High Schools this week. They have had strong scoring from multiple players, with exceptional goalkeeping from Andrew Nieves. 

The Girls Tennis team has won 3 out of their last 4 matches with victories over South River, South Amboy, and Mother Seton. The squad has had strong play all around, but particularly from their Doubles teams of Madison Perdomo and Amina Black, Joselyn Garcia and Peyton Phanor.  

The Girls Soccer team is on a 3 game win streak with wins over Carteret, East Brunswick Magnet, and Perth Amboy Magnet. Kaity Garcia leads the team with 7 goals while Rose Ciccolella has been amazing in goal.

Good luck to the Football team as they have their first Home game tonight at 7 pm at Columbia Park against Bound Brook High School. The team is coming off a tough loss last week and hopes to rebound after a solid week of practice and preparation.

DHS will soon be offering the Homework Help Center after school, 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.

All students: 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 2025-2026 free/reduced lunch program continue to receive breakfast at no cost.
