• REGULAR SCHEDULE                             ANNOUNCEMENTS                    SEPTEMBER 16, 2019

     

     

    1. Students who are interested in joining Student Council please pay $30 for dues.  STUCO is a place for students who are interested in opportunities to develop leadership skills by organizing and carrying out school activities and service projects. Our goal is to promote school spirit and positivity around our school and community.  Dues are to be turned in to Mrs. Bayless in room 229 by Friday. 

     

    1. The Journal Staff has been working hard covering things at and around DHS. Check out our latest stories @ decaturjournal.com

     

    1. DHS will be participating in Start With Hello Week, which is part of the Sandy hook Promise.  We will acknowledge Start With Hello this week.  Start With hello is a program that was developed to help raise awareness about social isolation.  In every school and in every community, there are young people who suffer silently because they feel left out, alone or invisible.  We would like to take this week to encourage students to reach out to each other.  Each day we will have students at the school entrances greeting the student body.  We will also have a Mix It Up lunch on Thursday, where we will encourage students to sit with different groups and step outside their friend groups.  We want DHS to be a place where everyone is included and feels like they are acknowledged and accepted.
