Thunderings from DHHS



Desert Hills earned a six-year accreditation recommendation from the visiting accreditation team last week. The team especially noted our students’ pride in their school and the excellent rapport between students and teachers and among the entire staff.

We paid respect to military veterans with a flag ceremony and patriotic assembly produced by senior Andrew Justvig. Our band marched in Veterans Day parades in Washington and St. George.

Linda Brown's Computer Repair students have been working hard this semester to learn about all the parts inside the computer and how they work together. This week, they have been working on a much-anticipated "Tear Apart Lab," in which students disassemble a computer to the bare case and then rebuild the machine using the same parts. This is the first year DHHS has offered this industry certification course.

Our debate team took fourth place in sweepstakes at the Bulldog Invitational at Virgin Valley last week, competing against more than 200 participants.

The DHHS Orchestra will perform at the Southern Utah String Festival at Pine View Middle School, Saturday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. This will be the orchestra’s premier performance of the school year.

Don’t miss "Hello Dolly!" coming to the DHHS stage Nov. 18-20 and 22, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors and may be purchased at the door or in advance at 674-0885.
