Tiger Ambush

Are you wondering what to do this weekend in the absence of DHS football? There is an easy solution! Make plans to attend the Tiger Arts Guild production of Little Women. There are four opportunities: Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 7:00 pm and a matinee on Sunday at 2:00 pm.

If you've never been to a TAG production, you are missing out. Ms. Jody Tartt does an amazing job with these students. I have never been disappointed, in fact, I always leave wondering how she and the kids will top the performance. Yet, they always do!

I hope to see you at the DHS auditorium this weekend, you will not regret it.

Tickets are available on gofan.co for all performances.

Seniors will meet with a UWA representative on Sept. 22. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn firsthand about the college application process.

Soccer tryouts will be held Thursday, Sept. 21st at 3:30 pm at the DHS practice field. Girls in grades 7-12 should attend. Students must have a valid, up to date physical.

The yearbook staff needs baby pictures for the Senior section. Baby pictures are due by October 5. No late pictures will be accepted. A hard copy can be brought to Mrs. Kerby or you can email your picture to ckerby@dcsedu.com Please indicate the student's name in the email.

Volleyball has a busy week. They play at home on 9/20 and 9/21. Make plans to come out and support these teams.

Congratulations to cross-country athlete Richard Lessman. He set a DHS record with a time of 17:16. The teams travel to East Mississippi to run this weekend. Best of luck to these athletes.

A rep will be on campus on Thursday, Sept. 21st. Please note that all athletes and band members (including auxiliary) can purchase letterman jackets. There are multiple styles available for males and females. The representative will be available from 4:30-6:00 pm if parents would like to meet.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, designated by the Attendance Awareness Campaign. Know the difference in truancy and chronic absenteeism. Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing two or more days per month or more than 18 days in an academic year. Students who are chronically absent are more likely to drop out. Every day, Every class period matters.

DHS pick-up and drop-off routes have changed due to the construction on the front entrance. Please note that ALL students will be dropped off and picked up at the back of the school. If you drop a student off, please remain in the LEFT lane. Car drivers and faculty/staff will use the right lane.
