Take Responsibility, Always Growing, Better Together
January 13, 2023
A message from me...
"And this morning, the thing that I like about it: by giving that definition of greatness, it means that everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love. And you can be that servant."
— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "The Drum Major Instinct" Sermon.
Weekly Schedule
Construction Update (1.13.23)
- Above ceiling work will begin in A and C, this will be to tie in the existing and new building together. The ceiling will have an "industrial" open look through spring break.
- On Monday, a 2nd shift crew that will do work in the current building.
- Exterior brick work is continuing, as well as rough finish work (drywall, plumbing, electrical, etc) is ongoing in the new wings.
We are making great progress!
"Touchdown Space"
This is one if five new touchdown spaces that will be used for collaboration. These spaces are flexible and will provide some privacy to those who are using them.
Flexible Learning Space
This flexible space will available to classes throughout the day as an alternate learning environment. The space will have a variety of seating and an 85 in TV.
C-Wing Atrium (Sneak Peak)
I was able to walk the new wings of the building with our Operations Team and Dr. Marschausen and Dr. Schwanke. The image above is of the 2 story atrium that will include skylights and a flexible learning space.
Parking Reminders from Mr. P
- If you got your license over break and would like to drive to school you need a parking pass. Please stop by in the main office to see Mr. P and he will help. As a note we are nearing our max number of passes and are monitoring closely.
- We have a number of students that have passes but are not displaying them. Please be sure you have your tag visible next week!
- Please remember not to park in visitors' spots We have enough spaces we would like to keep those available for visitors and guest teachers.
Hyland Croy Drop Off
As we continue to grow in our northwest quadrant traffic is becoming more difficult to navigate. If you drop off on the Hyland Croy side of the building please note that making a left hand turn will be difficult with traffic coming south.
Our suggestion is that if you are dropping off, please do so on the Brand Road side. This will allow you to turn right our to the lot and quickly exit to the round about.

Scheduling and Advisement Timeline
January 12-24: Course and Individual Advisement
Jerome staff will provide course and individual advisement to students in their classes. This is a very important component our our process and students will have to ask questions and discuss next step with their teachers.
We are also asking that parents discuss scheduling options with their child and sign off on their course selections. This will affirm that a discussion took place. Please remember we build our schedule and staff to appropriate levels based on these course requests. Making schedule changes in the beginning of next year are difficult and options are limited.
January 25-Feb. 10: Schedule Collection
Students will meet with their school counselor and review their course requests in SchoolLinks. School counselors will approve selections at that time. In spring families will receive course confirmation of these requests and will be able to make adjustments if necessary prior to summer.

Girls Prom
Dublin Coffman Multicultural Club is pleased to invite all Dublin High School girls to the 2023 Girls Prom on May 6 from 6 - 8 pm at the Dublin Rec Center. This has been a tradition at Coffman for 16 years, and this year, we welcome all girls wanting to attend.
Why Girls Prom? Some of our girls come from conservative families who do not allow them to attend co-ed dances, and some girls are simply uncomfortable at school dances. Girls from all backgrounds come together, some dress up though it's not required, and literally get to let their hair down.
If any female staff would like to attend or help out, you are more than welcome. Please contact Danielle Dehmani-Roberts at Coffman for more details.
Buckeye Boys and Girls State
Buckeye Boys and Girls State is an opportunity for all students to participate in a government simulation with students from around the state. You will run for city, county, and state office, work with officials from each area of government, and gain first hand knowledge of the political process. Any student interested in Buckeye Boys and Girls State should see Mr. Rice in C106.
Have an Old Camera? Donate to DJHS
Do you have a manual SLR film camera gathering dust that you would love to put to good use? Consider donating it to the Photography department at DJHS! The Photography class explores darkroom photography and could really use more camera equipment.
If you have a camera to donate, please send it with your student to school and have them deliver it to the main office, where there will be a box clearly labeled "Camera Donation".
Direct any questions, such as whether your camera is the right type, to Mrs. Brown: brown_marlo@dublinschools.net
Thank you for your consideration!
Congrats to our Theatre students for a great performances during Student Directed One Acts!

CELTS, LEAVE YOUR MARK AT DUBLIN JEROME WITH A COMMEMORATIVE BRICK
With the new addition to Dublin Jerome High School, the commemorative brick patio is also getting some additions… your personalized Celtic Brick. The current brick patio was installed in 2014 to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the DJHS as a gift from that year’s senior class. Who knew that less than 10 years later, we would need the current additions to accommodate the incredible growth in our schools? The original patio will be relocated to the front of the school near the new school addition in the summer of 2023. The relocation allows us to add additional bricks to complement the original memorial bricks.
This is your opportunity to purchase a beautiful, engraved brick paver to celebrate and memorialize students, alumni, school team, club, organization, or your favorite teacher in a meaningful and unique way that is forever set in stone.
Fill out the information below to purchase your Celt Brick and then don’t forget to come to see your commemorative brick during the grand opening of the school next fall.
4x8 bricks are $100 and can have up to 4 lines with up to 21 characters per line (Recommended: 3 lines, 18 characters). All proceeds go directly to the PTO to support all students and teachers at Dublin Jerome.
