Building Highlights

Final Senior Speech

Seniors reflected on their experiences over the past four years of high school, encompassing highlights, academic achievements, favorite classes, influential teachers, and their future aspirations.

Senior Signing

The seniors printed their final slides and exchanged heartfelt messages with one another as part of their year-end celebration. This was a wonderful way to conclude the academic year!

Earth Science

Students in Mrs. Hacketts Earth Science class measured the distance from the Sun to each planet to scale and mapped it out in the hallway to see how spread out our solar system really is!

GRADUATION

A Letter Through Time:

8th Graders Reunite with Their Past Selves

On May 5, DUHS Seniors experienced a touching moment as they opened letters written by their 8th grade selves. Originally written in 2021 as a final assignment in Mrs. Stockwell’s 8th grade English class, the letters were heartfelt messages to their "Senior Self," filled with memories, dreams, and encouragement for the future.

The classroom was filled with emotion as students reconnected with who they were four years ago. For many, the letters served as a powerful reminder of how far they’ve come and what they once hoped to become. Laughter, and even a few tears, marked this unique reflection on their journey through high school.
