Our 2020 yearbook is shaping up to be pretty awesome! Here are a few ways DCHS students can get some more coverage in the yearbook:
1. After receiving several submissions, we have decided to dedicate a page in the book to prom attire! Please consider sharing a photo with Mrs. Mason of you all dolled up! Not just for juniors/seniors - ANYONE can submit a photo.
2. Our book will be going to print on July 1st and we want to be sure to celebrate our seniors! Try on your cap and/or gown and have a little senior photo shoot.
3. Have you had a birthday during our school closure? We'd love to see how you celebrated! We have a few photo entries already and would love to add to that.
This year has definitely been a memorable one - thank you for your willingness to share your photos with us during the school closure. It has been extremely helpful. It's also great to see what our students have all been up to! Please email brooke.mason@dcmustangs.com with questions.
