Principal's Desk

As we turn the corner headed towards May with a full head of steam, I am amazed at how quickly this school year has come and gone. As I reflect on this school year, I feel more fortunate than ever to be the Dewey High School Principal. The students, faculty & community of Dewey make this a great place!


May is a super busy month of school. In an effort to keep you up to date on the various events, we've added a Spring Calendar At--A-Glance to our Announcements link located on the High School page of the school website. I would like to mention that on May 14th we will be having our Awards Assembly at 9:30 a.m. in the High School Auditorium. The assembly will be preceded by our new tradition of a "Senior Walk" through the Elementary in their cap & gowns. This is a neat event for our kids & awesome to see the faces of the Elementary students when they see the Seniors. Another item to put on your calendars is Semester Finals. These will be May 17th & May 18th. We plan to have notices in regards to students qualifying for Semester Test exemptions sent out by May 14th.


Lastly, a reminder that the last day of school is May 18th with graduation that evening, 8:00 p.m. at Bulldogger Stadium.

When asked his “why” as an SRO, Officer Gray said that he chose a career in law enforcement to make his community of 40 years a better place and that he chose to be a School Resource Officer because he believes children are where to start that change.
