Media Release

As part of their study on how celebrations express cultural values, Spanish students recently explored Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), learning about the traditions and elements that make up this cultural celebration. Spanish 2 students also decorated their own calaveras (skulls), one of the elements of the holiday. Later they will create their own papel picado for the classroom and will read a fiction novel centered around this celebration.

🎉 Congratulations to our newest National Honor Society members! 🎉 On Monday, November 4th, the DCS chapter inducted five new members and presented honor chords to 13 senior members. Students in grades 10–12 with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.65 are eligible to apply. Applications are reviewed by a faculty council based on the four pillars of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Integrity. Congratulations to Tagen, Abi, Noah, Emily, and Breck on this outstanding achievement!
