Thunderings from DHHS


Our sophomore-only orientation on the first day of school was a success, and DHHS students are off and running in sports, music, drama, art, academics and in a swarm of other activities. This week was club rush, with a “Welcome Back” assembly on Wednesday during which all the school’s clubs introduced themselves and urged students to get involved.
Thank you from faculty and administration to parents and students who attended Back to School Night on Thursday. We enjoyed meeting parents and welcome you as important members of our learning community.
Be sure to catch the exciting matchups in our fall sports lineup. Go to dhthunder.org for times and locations of games and meets. Homecoming will present our first home football game, on Sept. 3 against North Sanpete, with JV playing at 4 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m. Come be a part of the Thunder family tradition! A “Masquerade Ball” Homecoming dance follows on Saturday.
Our band performed to a sold-out crowd at the Washington County Fair on Saturday, Aug. 14, and in November, Thunder Productions will present the Broadway show “Hello Dolly!”
For a student perspective on our school community, look for “Thunderstruck,” the DHHS newspaper, on our website beginning Aug. 31.
