DACC Students and Families,


We had the pleasure of hosting the annual SkillsUSA South Central Regional competition last Friday. We appreciate every student and staff member who stepped up to help make this event a success.


We also offer our congratulations to all of our students who took home a gold, silver, or bronze medal and will be advancing to the state competition in April.


You can read the full story on our website. We are gathering photos and video footage from that day and will share them on our social media sites next week.
