From the Principal Dear Falcon Families, It is difficult to believe that the 2015-2016 school year will be ending shortly. We still have a great deal to accomplish. We are entering the testing season. Please help you child pay close attention to testing dates. Attendance is crucial! Please make sure your child is present and wellrested. Students will take the FSA test over the next month. We highly encourage you to have your student review the materials, paper-based and/ or computer-based practice tests and answer keys are available at: http://www.fsassessments.org/students-and-families/practice-tests/ • We continue to have higher expectations for our students: We continue to see growth in our reading, writing, math and science test data. Our testing is going well, and we are anticipating more students than ever to take and pass their Advanced Placement tests this spring. • Campus climate: DHS has a great campus. It is a fantastic learning environment, but even outstanding schools have room for improvement. I have been having regular meetings with student representatives in order to find more ways to improve school spirit and the overall campus climate. We have some activities planned for the spring and then for next year to take Falcon Pride to a whole new level. • Graduation and the end of the year: Spring is an exciting time of year for high school student, especially seniors, with Prom, Grad-Bash, Senior Breakfast and, finally, Graduation. All of these activities will be done before the seniors know it, and then it is off to the scary “real world”. No matter if it is off to college or right out into the business world, I am confident our students will be successful. Graduation will be June 8 at 9:00 a.m. at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Sincerely, Kyle R. Johnson Principal
