The DCMS Bat Signal: 1/6/2020
Super me, super you, everyday heroes make dreams come true.
Welcome Back DCMS Warriors!
Welcome back to all of you! I know that this week and next will be an adjustment period while we get back into our routines. I don't know about you, but going to sleep last night was a challenge and getting up was even more difficult!
I am truly excited for what this semester will bring! On a personal level, I am ready to focus on school and put stupid breast cancer in the rearview mirror. A wise person said to me, "You've got to go through it to get through it." So, I keep going on step at a time. Please bear with me as I adjust to being here full time.
OH and GO Clemson Tigers!

Regarding...
Shorts, Longs, & Coaching Observations – Expect that we will be visiting frequently and maybe even multiple times in a week.
Attendance Must Be Taken EACH Period – Attendance must be taken each period. This is not optional and cannot continue to be forgotten. At this point, this is considered a minimum performance expectation.
