I am a recent alumni and had an incredible experience at DHMS!
The teachers and staff were very kind and helpful! All of my classes were really fun and actually enjoyable, which made me learn a lot! Also, even though I joined in 8th grade, the other students made me feel so welcomed, they were very nice and respectful! I made so many friends and unforgettable memories in this school and I wish I didnt have to go to high school and leave DHMS!
Plus, I took Spanish for one of my electives and it was honestly the best language course ever! I learned so much and always looked forward to Spanish class because it was really fun!
I really loved DHMS!
