The 2024 DHS Hall of Fame night will be held on Friday, January 12th, at the Boys Varsity Basketball game vs. South Central. This year Tanner Traub will be inducted as an individual and the 2013/2014 HS Boys Basketball Team will be inducted in the team category. Also this year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1974 HS Boys Basketball Team (Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015). Several members of the 1974 team will be in attendance to be recognized. We look forward to a great evening and hope past inductees can return to help welcome the new members into the DHS Hall of Fame.
We are excited that our Kindergarten classes were able to start the new year in their new classrooms! We went from two classes to three classes and this reduced our class sizes to 17/18 students per room! This is a great benefit for our students and staff.
