FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Dear DHS Family,
We have made it through our first month and a half of a very unique start to a new school year. Presently, things are going well as teachers and students get acclimated to the new learning format. Keeping the safety of our students and staff first, we will continue to follow the guidelines and recommendations of the CDC to help decrease the spread of the coronavirus. Everyone will continue to wear masks and practice social distancing at all times while in our building. This is a safety non-negotiable.
This week, our seniors are participating in Ready to Work testing. This is a four-part test that measures real world skills that employers believe are critical to job success. Students may earn WIN’s career readiness credential and an Essential Soft Skills credential which is recognized by businesses and industries nationwide. It is imperative that our seniors do well. Parents please help us by ensuring that students are on time and ready for success on their assigned testing day. Parents, also please make sure that you are communicating with your student’s teachers to ensure that they are regularly attending all of their classes and completing their assigned activities in each class.
Please contact our guidance department or our administrative team if your child is having
difficulties so that we can work together to try to resolve any issues. Special thanks to our faculty and staff who continuously work hard to ensure the success of our students. Our motto is “Excellence is Essential” at Dillon High School, so our staff is working hard every day to help your students be successful now and in the future.
Parent conferences will be held on October 29th and November 12th from 3 p.m.-6 p.m.
Students will receive Report Cards for the first nine weeks on November 18th. Let’s continue to
work together to ensure the best outcome for our students.
Sincerely,
Timothy Gibbs, Principal

therefore, excellence is not an
act, but a habit.”
