PSA To our special needs community: We are super excited to invite you and your students to our next Parent Café on April 25th at 1721 West 10th Street! Food will be served at 5pm; The Parent Café starts at 5.45pm with childcare provided, and should finish by 8pm.
The Parent Café is targeted to parents of children with special needs in Wasco County. It provides a physically and emotionally safe space where people can talk and listen to each other on topics that matter to them, such as the challenges and victories of raising a family, navigating landscapes of inequality, enhancing well-being, or being involved in the recovery process of someone they love. Through individual deep self-reflection and peer-to-peer learning, participants explore their strengths, learn about the Protective Factors, and create strategies from their own wisdom and experiences to strengthen their families. Participants leave Cafés feeling inspired, energized, and excited to put into practice what they’ve learned.

Health Sciences CTE Class: We did blood type testing on ourselves today!! Some students learned a new thing about themselves, some confirmed what they already knew or suspected. Almost everyone was excited about it ;)
The competition was fierce, but DHS's own team, The Purple Cobras, took home the dodgeball championship trophy last night! Second place went to DHS alumni, the Returning Rangers. Thank you to all who came and supported the Class of 2026! We will see you again next year!
The 1 semester Honor Roll ice cream party was a huge success! Thank you to all the staff and parents who helped make this academic recognition a possibility for the 6-12th grade students!
