Dowagiac Union High School Weekly News

September 5, 2025

We are off to a GREAT start!  Thanks to all the students, staff, and families who make DUHS shine!  Our vision of positivity, teamwork, and engagement through visible learning has been embraced by all.  Thank you!  

Just a reminder that the beginning of the year means that we need to practice a number of safety drills including fire, tornado, and lockdown procedures.  We will be doing this over the course of the next few weeks and throughout the school year.  Please know that these are scheduled drills and are done for everyone’s safety and preparedness.  In the event of an active situation you would receive information directly from the district office.   

It is a pleasure to serve you, and we are here to help in any way that we can.  Thanks for your continued support!

Let’s go Chieftains!

Mrs. Millin
