Dearborn High School

Week Ahead

Greetings Pioneers, 

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of our teachers! Congratulations to all DHS teachers  who were nominated for the Teacher of the Year Award. Special Congratulations to Mike Schmitt for being recognized as Teacher of the Year and ensuring that a DHS teacher receives the award for the second year in a row! We appreciate all of our teachers. Make sure to drop your teachers a line of gratitude for their hard work and dedication. 

On another note, we are fortunate to be able to provide chromebooks for our students’ instructional use during the day, but that entails students being responsible and handling them with care. We are noticing a large number of students who are damaging the classroom chromebooks and we want to make students and parents aware that they will be responsible for the cost to repair any damaged device used. Please make sure to have a conversation with your student about respecting school property to avoid losing this privilege.

Prom and senior party tickets will be sold all week before school and during all lunches. Prom will be June 1st and the senior party will be June 10th. Student ID is required to purchase tickets. 

As we head into the last week of April and the  weather gets warmer, families start to plan trips. We encourage families to create  memories and ask that you plan these trips according to the district’s  school calendar. Please be aware that students’ absences for family vacations does count towards audit. Our teachers work hard to ensure that every minute counts as our motto is “bell to bell instruction”. Your partnership and support are key to ensuring that your child doesn’t fall behind due to family vacations during school time. As always, we appreciate your support and encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns.
