🏆Demon Difference Makers | Duncan High School 🏆

We are proud to recognize our Duncan High School students who were honored as Demon Difference Makers for demonstrating the core values of Duncan Public Schools: perseverance, kindness, teamwork, integrity, and leadership.

Students were nominated by teachers, school leaders, and coaches through classes, athletics, and extracurricular activities.

In addition, five DHS staff members were also recognized. At Duncan Public Schools, students and staff are held to the same high standard, and we are proud to celebrate those who consistently model our core values.

Thank you to the families who support and cheer on our Demon Difference Makers as they continue to set the Duncan Standard every day. ❤️🖤

🎈Our Pre-K students had a great morning with their Grand Buddies at Elk Crossing. 🎈

Students kicked off the day with fun New Year’s coloring activities and enjoyed PE time together with a balloon toss. Moments like these help bridge generations, build meaningful friendships, and create lasting connections across our community.

We are grateful for our Elk Crossing partners and proud to see relationships like this grow at Duncan Public Schools.

🌟 Leadership in Action at Horace Mann 🌟

The Leadership Council at Horace Mann Elementary, led by Mrs. Alston, is helping students grow into confident leaders right before our eyes. This group of fourth- and fifth-grade students meets twice a month to strengthen their leadership skills and serve as a student voice in planning and implementing school initiatives and activities.

Through leadership development, community service, and hands-on experiences, council members are building confidence, responsibility, teamwork, and public speaking skills that will continue to grow as they move forward on their leadership journey.

We are proud of the students and educators across our district who are setting the Duncan Standard and preparing the leaders of tomorrow!

Our 6th grade Honors ELA students in Mrs. Outhier’s classes have been busy combining research and creativity for a meaningful purpose. ✍️🎨

Students created research projects and artwork that will be shared with our neighbors at Chisholm Trail Assisted Living Center. This experience gave students the opportunity to learn, create, and connect with others in our community.
