DeWitt High School

We are so proud of Savanna Smith, whose ornament design celebrating our community was selected for the Arkansas Celebrates America250 State Ornament Project! Her artwork is now on display on the Christmas tree at the Arkansas State Capitol, where it will be open for public viewing through mid-January. What an incredible honor and achievement!

Thank you to our choir and all of our bands for helping add magic to the holidays tonight. Every group did an amazing job!! Here’s a couple of pictures of our DHS band.

Hey DHS Students! Here it is, the last week before Christmas Break. It is semester testing week. We want to have a little fun before we go home for the holidays, so see the photo to see our "festive days" as we study, work hard, and finish this semester strong!

Several DHS students achieved the opportunity to go to Monticello to compete in the chess tournament after placing in a local chess tournament a few days ago. Jett Stephen placed 1st in the junior high division and Jayden Stephens placed 3rd in the senior high division! Way to go guys!

We would like to give a special thanks to our students in EAST Lab and Dragon Period Community Service classes for their hard work and help putting up the Christmas decorations on the square. We love it when students work to give back to the community, and we are so blessed to have them!

Thanks as well to Mrs. Smith for coordinating to make this happen!

Thank you to our 10th grade class and their sponsor, Mrs. Hill, for decking the hallway with our beautiful Christmas tree. We appreciate your dedication to making our school look nice and putting us in the Holiday Spirit!

1st Electric Cooperative came to visit our students today at lunch. They provided materials about job opportunities and the services that they provide us with locally. Thank you all for coming to visiting with us!!

Our 1st Semester Testing Schedule is set. Remember, all DHS students will take a semester test in all subject areas this semester. Students will arrive at school at regular time each day during testing and follow the testing schedule.

DONATION DRIVE TOTALS SO FAR!

Things are getting pawsitively intense out there!

🎓 Seniors are currently in the lead — they came to play…and fetch…ALL the points!

But Beware of Juniors – they are starting to sniff around the leaderboard!

🐶 It’s NOT too late, Freshmen and Sophomores! You can still claw your way back into this. Don’t let the upperclassmen dog y’all out of that popcorn party!

We’re accepting items until 2:30 on Friday afternoon!

So grab those blankets, haul in that dog food, and help your class take the lead before the Seniors start acting like top dogs permanently.

Let’s make this drive fur-nomenal! 🐾

Who says algebra has to be no fun!?? We’ve been learning about different kinds of functions and today we learned about Absolutely Value Functions. Student had to guess the number of die (isn’t that the plural of dice), find the absolute guessing error and then graph the function. Remarkably, no one asked if they could have the dice to shoot them later.

Remember, no school next week for Thanksgiving Break! Enjoy your time off! See you back on Monday, December 1.

On Tuesday, the students in Mrs. Tanner’s Physical Science class applied their knowledge of writing chemical compound names (specifically ionic bonds) with a game where they roll dice and have to write the name and formula of the compound. Some are polyatomic ions. Fun activities help make learning new and complex content a little easier. The students had a fun time working together.

Last week in Coach B’s classes were especially meaningful. The students learned how to make homemade dressing, but it became much more than a simple cooking activity. Coach B shared a recipe that belonged to her mother, and with her mother’s birthday falling on the 13th, it felt like the perfect way for her to honor that memory. She was grateful for the opportunity to pass a bit of that love on to each of her students through this experience.

We are extra "Thankful" for our students, teachers, and the chance to share life experiences in our classes. This activity was just in time for Thanksgiving, and we hope that each one of you find time to rest and be thankful for all that you have next week.

Thank you RNT Calls for donating Specklebelly calls to the High School. These students are sounding more like a flock of geese everyday.

IT'S GAME DAY, DRAGON FANS!!

The Junior Dragonettes, Junior Dragons & Senior Dragonettes are on the road to take on the Des Arc Eagles!! Junior Girls tip off at 4:30 PM!

Please help JAG students as they give back to our community!
