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.

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.
