Thunderings from DHHS

The first quarter came to an end before the long weekend, and term grades will be posted on Power School and handed out at school Thursday, Oct. 22. As the second quarter begins this week, please encourage your student to begin the new term with renewed effort and commitment to their learning. UBSCT retakes for juniors and seniors who need to pass one or more of the math, reading or writing sections will take place Oct. 20-22. Please help your student to be ready for the assessments. Congratulations to Alexis Williams, who took a first place in her category at the Shakespearean competition in Cedar City, winning a $1,000 scholarship. And congratulations also to our tennis team, who battled to their second straight tennis championship at State, and to our golf team, who finished in third place at State. Last week was Utah Schools Principal Appreciation Week, and we joined with schools across the state in recognizing the importance of school leadership. We honored the contribution of our principal, Ray Brooks, and our two vice principals, Rob Goulding and Dana McConnell, and thanked them for their time and effort in support of the students and staff of DHHS.
