Safety remains our first priority. This week, the Dighton Fire Department came to the high school and provided all faculty with "stop the bleed" training. A special thanks to Captain Gagnon and Lieutenant Gauthier for an engaging and empowering training.

This is an exciting time for 8th graders in our district. Families are deciding where their children will attend high school. To assist in the decision, this week students from Dighton Middle School visited our CTE programs; next week Beckwith students will visit. If you have not seen our updated CTE website, please click the link or photo below.

Mr. Nardozzi and his students in Media Studies are creating a dynamic website featuring each of the 7 programs. Watch their video about the Automotive program!

Senior Meaghan O'Connell was awarded a Silver Key in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards 2023. The Silver Key is the second highest award for work entered into Scholastics. Meghan submitted a pastel portrait of a young Pakistani girl after the horrible flooding in Pakistan. It won the Silver key in the Drawing and Design category. Her work will be on display at Tufts University Medford Campus in March 2023. Congratulations Meaghan on a job well done.

This is a reminder the Dighton Rehoboth schools will use the Apptegy alerts system for weather-related messages. It is not our plan to use local media outlets. All messages will be sent through Apptegy via text, RoboCall, and email. Apptegy uses the contact information in Aspen. To modify your contact information, please contact the Main Office.
