Garden County results Kirah 2nd Adeya 4th

Congratulations to Alyssa S. for qualifying for the Nebraska State FFA Honor Choir this March! We are so excited to watch you perform at State Convention!

Small in numbers but mighty in brain power, the DCS High School Quiz Bowl team earned 4th place at their first competition of the season with only 4 teams members. Determination, teamwork, and knowledge made all the difference, leading them to a 5-3 record. We are proud of your hard work and outstanding performance.

Tomorrow's (01/09) home wrestling meet has been cancelled due to low participation numbers.

Come out and enjoy a loaded baked potato at tonight's game hosted by the Italy Experience 2027!

The Italy Experience is an EF Tour and is not a school-sponsored activity. For more information on this opportunity, please contact Mrs. Lindsay Anderson.

Looking back over the last 4 months, I have to wonder where the time went. I want all students to think about the accomplishments they have achieved and be ready to raise the bar in the new year. One accomplishment we want to celebrate is Jasper Foster. Jasper graduated at semester and will be leaving soon to attend basic training with the US Army in Fort Benning, GA. DCS wants to say congratulations to him and wish him well over the next 24 weeks.

A few of our HOSA officers had the opportunity to spread some Christmas cheer! We colored and delivered holiday cards to the residents at the Sarah Ann Hester Home in Benkelman yesterday. Merry Christmas from the DCS HOSA Chapter!

Adeya and Kirah were 2nd today in McCook.
