Today our seniors had their caps and gowns delivered. As you can see, the smiles and excitement on all of their faces were a huge ray of sunshine even on a dreary day such as this. Thank you to Josten's and Ms. Morgan for always making these final senior moments so memorable.
Attention parents and students of upcoming 9th graders!! Pre-registration is coming up soon!
Please join us in welcoming Coach Jason Hathcock! Coach Hathcock is joining the DeWitt Dragons as the new Senior High Head Football Coach. We are so excited to have him leading our team and he and his family joining our community!
Mrs. Shook's 10th grade honors class is currently reading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. They researched aspects of England’s Regency Era Ball scene. Student committees were formed and given the task to replicate invitations, decor, attire, ballroom dances, and refreshments from the Regency Era.
The menu consisted of meringue cookies, sponge cake, and punch fitting for the time period. They learned and performed dances that were often enjoyed at such balls. Students were so proud of the invitations that they made.
They sent one invite to Mrs. Mitchell, but she was away at a professional development. Mrs. Shook made sure to send Mrs. Mitchell a video of the student performing their dances. It was really a treat to get that video of everyone having so much fun!
A great time was had by all the DHS Royals and they loved making the text relevant and seeing the words come to life in their very own classroom!
Our busiest time of year is quickly approaching! Here's a calendar for the happenings in March at DHS!

Just stopping by to recognize our awesome SRO, Mr. Randy!
Last week, Ms. Clawson's Social Studies classes worked on special projects to honor Holocaust Remembrance Day by engaging in meaningful projects that reflect on history, resilience, and the importance of remembrance. Students were asked to research and explore stories of individuals that experienced the Holocaust and create a butterfly in their honor.
Ms. Bell's secondary science class is currently exploring the fascinating world of bacteria, protists, and fungi. Last week, they conducted a lab experiment in which students swabbed the most frequently used surfaces on our campus and cultured their samples on petri dishes for 72 hours. When examining the results under microscopes, they were astonished by the microbial growth they observed. Through this hands-on experiment, students not only deepened their understanding of bacteria but also gained valuable experience in using laboratory equipment properly.
