This year, a school garden is also being added to grow vegetables to donate to local food pantries.

Summer Reading Boot Camp
High School Credit - 1 elective credit in English Lab Class

Location: Danville Community High School Media Center Room 324

Target Audience: Incoming freshmen
As part of the "Back to School" excitement, DCHS is offering an exciting summer program for incoming freshmen. The session leads up to Freshman Orientation and gives middle school students tips and skills for high school success. With a focus on reading, the session incorporates fun reading rigor for incoming freshmen who want a sneak peek into high school expectations so they are better prepared for reading high school course materials in the upcoming school year. Participants will engage in intensive reading strategies for high school, such as basic reading comprehension, subject-area vocabulary (word study & decoding), reading test questions, reading textbooks, reading prompts, and reading a variety of texts (novels, informational text, articles, etc.).
