  • im currently a senior at dhs and i've enjoyed going to this high school. the teachers are great and help out the students alot to get into college. we also have alot of school spirit and pride. and i can honestly say that everybody gets along with eachother.. its a good atomsphere. maybe it wasnt a good school back in the 90's but it changed alot and just last year we got awarded with being one of the best high schools in AMERICA.
