Greetings Pioneers,
Congratulations to our boys basketball team. They had a phenomenal season winning 20 games! We are very proud of them as they shine on and off the court!
March is Women’s History Month! During this time, we commemorate and encourage the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. I’d like to quote President Carter – who stated the following when he signed the proclamation in 1980:
From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.
The DHS Principal Student Advisory Council will celebrate Women’s History Month during our morning announcements and we will host a Women’s History Fair during all lunches on Wednesday, March 19th to highlight the contributions of women in the Women’s Suffrage Movement/History, Music/Performing Arts Industry, Sports, Language, Literature, Politics, and so much more.
Our Robotics Team has their first competition on Friday 03/14 and Saturday 03/15 at Belleville High School. Friday all day and Saturday during the first part of the day.
Friendly Reminder: The district is offering free take home lunches to secondary students during the month of Ramadan. Students must attend school that day and can pick up the food during their lunch period. One lunch per student. They cannot eat at school and take food home. This service will run March 3-21, 2025.
