COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

The first quarter of the school year is complete. I am very proud of the learning opportunities that students receive from our staff every day at DC West. Students are engaged in relevant and meaningful experiences in and out of their classrooms. Hardworking and dedicated staff mixed with engaged and kind students make DC West the best!

Homecoming Traditions 2018

Community involvement is an annual tradition in the Homecoming Parade. Many community service groups participate in this event showing great pride for our DC West Community!

Spirit dress up days are always a good time for the staff and students. Pictured, high school students dressed up for "Tourist" day.

This year's homecoming theme, "Let's Glow Crazy~ Light Up the Night" was a hit. Sophmore, Junior, and Senior classes traditionally decorate theme-based floats to represent their class in the parade.
