A donation of $10,000 was awarded to DeWitt High School Science Department. The donation was directed by Shan & Sabrina Rodgers, an Arkansas County farm family, through Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities.
DeWitt High School Principal Rachel Mitchell said that the school was grateful for the donation as rural schools can always use the extra help.
There are already plans for how the Science Department will use the funds. The Chemistry and Biology Lab are installing dishwashers to assist in sanitizing and washing of science equipment. A slide cabinet to store slides is also being purchased for the Biology class. Several lab material kits are also being purchased for Physical Science. There will also be new microscopes purchased for the science classrooms.
Shown in the picture above is Victoria Rodgers, daughter of Shan and Sabrina Rodgers, and a senior at DHS; along with the three high school science teachers. From left to right: Toni McFerrin, Beth Hill, Victoria Rodgers, and Shanna Place.
America’s Farmers programs focus on agriculture education, public schools in rural areas and non-profits. They awarded $3.1 million in 2023 to schools supporting STEM.
Happy National School Counselor's Week to one of the very best, Mrs. Meg! She always goes above and beyond for every single student in our school and we are so grateful to have her.

Attention DHS Students!!
Students in the Family and Consumer Science department cooked meals for families experiencing hardships this Thanksgiving. Students made chicken/dressing, deconstructed green bean bundles, and pumpkin pie. They enjoyed the experience and earned community service learning hours for their efforts.
Students at DHS have been busy this Dragon period cycle earning community service-learning hours. Working through the CTE and Art departments, students have made jump ropes for Operation Christmas Child, knitted squares for an organization that creates blankets for people experiencing homelessness, creating activity pages for Arkansas Children’s Hospital, making fall door hangers for the residents of Creastpark Nursing Home, and painting seasonal art for the halls of DeWitt Nursing home. Our students love being able to serve our community. If you have a project, we can assist. Just contact DeWitt High School and leave a message for the CTE department.
