Important Information
Wednesday, January 12, is NOT a delayed opening.
December Students of the Month
We couldn’t get too far into January without recognizing our Dutch Fork High School students of the month for December 2021. Each one of these students is deserving of this award for going above and beyond in and out of the classroom. They help, they serve and they build community. They are exemplary models of our three R’s (responsible, reputable, and respectful). Our students are nominated by faculty and then the top ten are selected by our PBIS committee. We hope you will join us in celebrating what amazing young leaders these students are.
Shown (not in order): Dr. Gerald Gary, Natalie Beale, Zaniiya Norris, Derek Smith, Jacobian Rawls, Riley Madron, Nicolas Snyder, Jasmine Gibson, Aaliyah Murphy, Queen James, Will Cochcroft
