Welcome to those returning and a special welcome to students, staff and family who are new to DHS. We are so excited to kick off the new school year! We hope you had a chance to come to the school for Registration Day, if not or if you didn't get a chance, you can still do the following: 

Sign up for PTSO Membership

Your PTSO membership provides for activities, educational programs, and events that benefit the ENTIRE school - staff, students, and as well as provide for improvements to the campus. These funds directly enrich your child's high school experience. Seniors who wish to apply for the PTSO scholarship in the Spring, must also be PTSO members.

Join the PTSO

Pay Class Dues

Class Dues are used to fund SGA activities and grade specific events. To pay class dues, create an account with My School Bucks (you may already have one but need to add your child and select the school). Once you have the account and your student linked, access the School Store and Browse All Items to find the class dues option. Please see the class sponsor for more details.

Over the past two years, the DHS Library Learning Commons, AKA "The Hub," has invited students to come in before school and during lunch to play Uno, board games, do puzzles, etc. This also spilled over into the ROAR last year. We are thrilled with how successful this "brain break" has been for our students. However, we must still maintain the Hub to be a space that is conducive to studying and reading. It is, after all, a library. A good number of our students come to the Hub in order to find a quiet space to read a book, to study, and to have respite from sensory overload. Based upon student feedback, we are, therefore, instituting "Quiet Days" in the Hub this school year.

Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays will be designated as Quiet Days in the Hub, as well as anytime there is whole class instruction taking place in the Hub. On Wildcat Wednesdays and on Fridays (except when we have classes in the library), students will be able to engage more actively in the Hub. Students who are excessively loud on Quiet Days will be asked to leave. Students who are repeat offenders may face disciplinary consequences as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. Signs will indicate to students when it is a Quiet Day.

Additionally, students may not ask to come to the Hub during the ROAR for non-instructional purposes. There will be no passes to the Hub for puzzles and games during the ROAR. Students are still welcome to visit the Hub during ROAR with the QR code pass if they have make-up work or other instructional needs. Students who come to the Hub during ROAR must remain in the Hub for the entire ROAR period.

We hope that this new policy of Quiet Days will provide a balance between those students who are seeking a quiet place and those students who want to engage in games.
