Throughout the school year, we’ll be sharing powerful stories submitted by DPS staff and community members about teachers who made a lasting difference in their lives.
These reflections highlight the moments, relationships, and everyday actions that shape who we are. Our teachers are mentors, encouragers, and life-changers — and their impact reaches far beyond the classroom.
We look forward to celebrating the educators who helped set the Duncan Standard and continue to guide the next generation with heart and purpose. ❤️📚
Stay tuned for more stories of gratitude and inspiration.

🌟Junior Industry Tours🌟
This week our DHS Juniors experienced a few of the industries and job opportunities in Duncan. These tours give our students a behind-the-scenes view of the career possibilities in our community.
DRH: Students saw the wide variety of careers available including those that save lives every day.
First Bank & CO: Students got a sneak peek into how banks keep our information and money safe. They offered an opportunity to learn more about each career path they offer through a fun and engaging game.
SENSIA: Students learned the important role that Sensia plays in the oil and gas industry by how they ensure each piece of equipment is safe to use.
Solitaire/CAVCO: Students saw the building process of manufactured homes.
What a fantastic learning experience for our students! Thank you to our sponsors and each of these organizations for taking the time to engage with our students. 🙌

Plato students had an amazing time at their Color Run celebration!
This event was a reward for their incredible participation in the Plato PTO Giving Campaign, and they definitely earned it!
Our students showed up, showed out, and had a blast while supporting their school. We are so proud of their effort and grateful for our PTO and volunteers who made this day happen.
