Pictured here is the elementary (grades 4-6), junior high and high school divisions.
This week in Preschool we celebrated Dr. Seuss! We had a STEM challenge that was inspired by the book, The Cat In The Hat. The students were given the opportunity to stack the cat's hat with just cups and paper. Some students chose to just use the cups, while others wanted to use both. Check out the stacks created by the morning class!

The supply and demand lesson with the Intro to Ag class led to a highly competitive economics lesson!

Friday brought another visit from Troy Kane to the band room -- where he led a game of musical jeopardy with our 7th-12th band and choir students! Thank you to Troy -- the kids are enjoying your visits!
The show choir kids did great today at their first competition of the year in Grand Island. The judges were awesome and gave very positive feedback. Great job, Purple Reign!
Sophomores stepped up at the career fair -- dominating the "dos" and "do nots" of resume building (1st - Taneal and Danessa), placing in the top 10 (pictured here) or winning the pull up challenge (Holden - 23!). They are pictured here with the Midwest Bank booth representatives.
At the Thayer County Career Fair, DPS sophomores came dressed to impress, ready with their resumes, and learning about summer internships and potential future careers at that Stastny Center in Hebron. The future looks bright for them right here in Thayer County. Thank you, TCEDA!
A day off for some wasn't a day off for all on Feb. 22nd...the DPS JH Quiz Bowl team and speech contestants spent the day competing!
At the TVC Speech Meet, Jordan LeFave got 6th, and the OID team got 5th. Pictures of the speech contestants coming!
Congratulations, Dragons!
3rd grade learned more about the presidents included on Mount Rushmore to celebrate President's Day. We also created our own Mount Rushmore by trying to build the tallest or widest self-standing monument using tape and straws!
