Considering the importance of earning excellent grades and the time demands of preparing and submitting impressive college applications, Mrs. Nicholson has arranged a College Camp for Class of 2024 students. College Camp will be from August 8 - August 11, 4pm-6pm, in room 306.
Each College Camp student will receive expert advice towards accomplishing these goals during College Camp:
- Identify safety, target, and reach colleges based on college admission standards and each student's academic resume, career interests, and college preferences.
- Receive support in completing the Common Application, including essay support.
- Determine what can be done to increase the likelihood of being accepted to college and earning scholarships.
Note: Thanks to the support of the City of Aventura, Charter Schools USA, and a federal grant, this opportunity is being offered at no cost to students.

Fundraising
The Compass Campaign is back!
The Compass Campaign is an amazing opportunity for our families to support the school and honor your student. It consists of an actual plaque, in the shape of our compass logo, customized with your personalized message and hung on the walls of the main entry of our high school. All proceeds will be spent on student-rewards, including graduation medals, honor roll gifts, and year-end award ceremony medals. We invite you participate and be part of marking your child's legacy for years to come.
The Compass Campaign was inspired by our school’s logo. Always pointing in the right direction, a compass symbolizes guidance, recognizing that our children are headed for the future, and that DSAHS will give each of its students the tools needed as they navigate their high school years. Your child’s compass will be enhanced each year with a new directional cardinal point:
- Freshman - East
- Sophomore - South
- Junior - West
- Senior - North, as they graduate and look to the future
