DHS will be having a field trip to the College of New Jersey on Monday, November 10th. First preference will be given to students in Grade 11, then students in Grade 10. Interested students should see Ms. Markert in the Counseling office.

DHS students will be participating in taking the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) and the New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA) field tests on November 12th and 13th. The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is transitioning to updated, adaptive assessments, which means the test questions will automatically adjust in difficulty based on a student’s previous answers.

The students will take the assessments during the school day. 

We will be hosting the National Honor Society Induction on Wednesday, November 19th for all students that were selected this year for this prestigious honor. The NHS recognizes those for scholarship, leadership, service and character.

DHS will hold its Fall Sports Awards program on Thursday, November 20th at 6:30 pm in the DHS Auditorium. We will recognize the achievements of the athletes in Cheerleading, Cross Country, Football, Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer, and Girls Tennis.

Destroyer Dollars!  Did you know our students can earn Destroyer Dollars for demonstrating excellence both in and out of the classroom? Whether it’s showing academic growth, lending a helping hand, or being caught doing something truly amazing, these positive behaviors are recognized and rewarded!

When students receive Destroyer Dollars, they can enter our monthly raffle for prizes, enjoy a snack, or even earn a positive call home to celebrate their success. It’s our way of reinforcing the great choices our students make every day and building a school culture that values respect, effort, and pride. Keep up the great work, Destroyers!

The DHS Homework Help Center will run from 2:45 - 3:45 pm, and 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.
