This Wednesday, November 11, 2020 marks the day our nation celebrates our US Military Veterans.

Veterans Day became a national holiday in 1938, and on behalf of Diamond Bar High School, we express our gratitude for our Brahma US Military Veterans for their commitment, service, and sacrifice.

Please join me in honoring the following Brahmas:

• US Army - Mr. Kurt Davies (Social Science teacher)
• US Army - Mr. Albert Lim (Athletic Director)
• US Army - Mr. Ken Carlson (Forensic Science teacher)
• US Navy - Mr. Michael Mott (Varsity Football Coach)

Students and parents: We encourage seniors to sign up for the College Board Opportunity Scholarships program and start earning chances at scholarships. Students and parents can also take advantage of these resources this fall:

• View Collegeboard's recent webinar, Applying to College During a Pandemic, for seniors and their parents.

• Visit Collegeboard's Class of 2021 page for college planning resources in response to covid-19 to help your senior stay on track for college.

We encourage seniors to get ahead on the FAFSA® by visiting www.getfafsahelp.org to sign up early for Wyatt℠, a free FAFSA assistance chatbot that answers their questions by text.

The final deadline for AP test orders for yearlong classes and first semester classes is Friday, November 13. If you still plan on taking an AP test and have not paid for your test, please submit your payment through the DBHS WebStore by November 12 at 11:59 PM.
