J-Term Takes To The Road

“The standout from my experience this year is the overall satisfaction of seeing others succeed,” said DCHS junior Megan Gherke as she reflected on her Science Enrichment J-Term course. Over the course of four days, the Science Enrichment team, consisting of nine DCHS students, worked one-on-one with 7th- and 8th-grade science students at Epworth Christian School teaching them the necessary components of experimental design. The DCHS students focused the teaching on the concepts of variables and constants; the most difficult things for students to identify when designing an experiment. “First we had to gain their trust in order to teach,” continued Megan. ...

Cards, Caroling, and Cheer

DCHS students Nathaniel Richter and John Henderson befriend a couple of children who attend Howard T. Ennis School in Georgetown. The last day of the fall trimester is always a highlight of the school year. The day began with the student body creating Christmas cards that were delivered later in the day to the Harrison House, the Stockley Center, the Milton CHEER Center, and the Howard T. Ennis School. Over 2,000 homemade cookies were also distributed by DCHS students as they sang Christmas carols to the residents and children. The day also included a special Chapel in which a large number ...

Christmas Food Drive

DCHS students Cassie Gordon, Hunter Dorey, Sarah Bryan, and Alex Gordon, along with School Nurse Kristen Bennett, gather the nonperishable food items for pick up. In partnership with the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, DCHS students collected nonperishable food items for the Food Bank of Delaware, Sussex County. The food drive, which kicked off December 5 at Eagle's Nest Fellowship Church, will bless hunger-relief agencies to include churches, food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, low-income daycare centers, rehabilitation programs, senior centers and more. During the school's week-long food drive, students collected over 200 food items to help hungry Delawareans this holiday season. The Georgetown ...

Returning To The Community

DCHS students rake an abundance of leaves at the Eagle's Nest Campground site. Although election celebrations were not planned on the Georgetown Circle this year, DCHS still held their annual Return Day community service activities. This year, students covered Sussex County from Laurel to Milton helping with projects from raking leaves, debris removal, and mulching to painting, cleaning, and assembling newsletters. Several students also learned how to install an irrigation system while others learned how to plant shrubs. DCHS seniors Tommy Hudson and Andrew Oeschler transport boxes of heavy floor tiles. Cameron Burns and Kyle Weed remove nails from the floor of ...

Coffee, Donuts, Books and So Much More

Why is the smell of coffee emanating from the English III classroom? Upon entering, guests are struck by the sight of a coffeehouse, or even a bookstore, instead of a classroom. Coffee is brewing, donuts are plated, and books are carefully strewn on the tabletops. "What better way to start the day and grab the students' attention!" exclaims long-term substitute English teacher Mrs. Janice Curtis. "The transformation would make Starbucks and Barnes and Noble envious." On this particular day, Mrs. Curtis was introducing a new book, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, to her students. Mrs. Curtis presented a brief overview ...
