DACC Students and Families,

As we walked the hallways this week, we were able to catch many of our students presenting their capstone projects to their teachers and classmates. So much thought and work has gone into these projects, it's a joy to see how proud our students are of themselves and their peers.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us at 740-548-0708.

Have a great weekend!

Supporting Your Working Teen
Many DACC students are employed in a part-time job or they may be looking for a job. A part-time job is not just a means for extra spending money, it is also a great way for teens to explore careers and learn about work environments while also gaining valuable employability skills such as communication, time management, and problem-solving. 

Though the benefits of a part-time job are many, it is also important to keep a balance between work and school. DACC is here to help support your teen as they navigate the world of part-time work. 

Check out this article for a few tips, Balancing High School and Part-Time Work (collegeboard.org).
