Hello,

The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived. Fall Break is here! It is that awesome time of the year when bookbags are set aside for a week. Take this perfect opportunity for your family to slow down and take a break from the hustle and bustle of high school life. Whether you are near or far, enjoy the time away from the grind. DHS family, we hope you have a rejuvenating break after the fast start to the school year. I want to thank all of you for your support as new principal and I look forward to continuing to work as a team with the community and all stakeholders.

Sincerely

Duane Sprull
