Our teams are working on making a seamless transition to our new system. We appreciate your patience during this process.

Red Ribbon Week is a yearly event that happens every October across the United States. It’s a special campaign focused on raising awareness about the risks of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and violence. The main goal is to help people understand why it's so important to stay drug-free and to inspire young folks to make healthy choices. This year we are celebrating as a campus and reminding our students that even as individuals we can work together and do our piece to create a picture of healthy students!!

💙💜💛Did you forget to submit your Color Run biggest fan?? There is still time!! Pop into the office tomorrow we'd be happy to help you!

It has come to our attention that the DHS Spirit Club delivered their fan ribbons last week. Due to a busy schedule and several other site events, the ribbons were not delivered as initially planned. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may have caused.
