Incredible scene at DHS tonight. Community support at it's finest. #blueout



The Art Room is looking to start framing a lot of the amazing artwork that is coming out of the classroom. We are desperately in need of picture frames and looking to collect any frames you may want to donate. We are mostly looking for sizes 8"x10" or larger and can fix/spray paint them to "pretty them up" if necessary. Please contact me directly with any questions or concerns.
Thank you so much,

We were gifted some photos of our local active military members from the Quasquicentennial. The high school would like to create a permanent area to recognize all of our active military members in our area. Some of the pictures we have are actual pictures and some are printed on color printers with the ink not being the best. If you are an active military member in our area (or the family of an active military member) and would like to submit a picture please send the picture (in uniform) to:
Dieterich High School
Attn: Rae Lyn
P.O. Box 187
Dieterich, IL 62424
Please include the name, if they graduated from DHS, graduation year, Branch of Service and the years in the service.
We appreciate all those who have served and continue to serve our country!

DHS was recently recognized by US News and World Report as one of the "Best High Schools in America".

We need your cooperation!! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL BOARD PERMISSION TO USE THE BALL FIELDS, PLEASE STAY OFF! Three individuals used the field on Sunday afternoon while it was too soft/wet. This caused additional labor hours from our coaching staff and maintenance to get it ready for Monday's game. The community just invested several thousand dollars in improving the fields. We need your cooperation in keeping them in the best condition they can be. Thanks for your help!
