Decatur High School
Hello,
I want to thank the PTSA and our staff for their support in helping DHS to have an outstanding homecoming week. I want to continue to stress there are many ways parents can contribute to the PTSA. DHS staff organized student participation in the parade, cheered at the game, and chaperoned the dance. A special thanks goes to Ms. Amanda Lockhart for her leadership in the hall decorations, pep rally, parade, and halftime ceremony.
As we have shifted to semester grading, please continue to monitor your student’s grades. If challenges arise, reach out directly to the teacher as they can provide the quickest answers and support. Encourage your student to take advantage of tutoring, retake opportunities, and remediation.
Sincerely,
Duane Sprull, Ed.
On October 21, nine DHS students involved in HOSA and/or the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program attended the American Association for Cancer Research Conference, where they had the opportunity to learn from leaders in cancer research and explore exciting developments in the field. During a conference trivia competition, our students demonstrated their knowledge and school spirit, with three students bringing home prizes!
Students also participated in rotating small-group discussions with researchers, learning about their current work, career journeys, and paths to success. During the poster session, they explored ongoing research and gained insight into the discoveries and innovations shaping the future of cancer research. The conference provided a valuable opportunity for students to connect with scientists, ask questions, and deepen their interest in science and medicine.
