The juniors, seniors, and guests had a good time at the prom dance with music provided by Full Throttle.  Thank you, Chris Johnson, for donating your time and talent to the DCHS kids.

Thank you also to Duane Dorshorst and Sherri Jacobs for the wonderful meal -- and to Scott Foote and Decatur County Beef for the steaks.

Thank you to the Junior Class and their sponsors - Mr. Bricker, Mrs. Scott, and Ms. Davis -- for putting together a beautiful, memorable prom and to Susan Unger and the Gateway staff for letting us have prom with AC and space!

It was a beautiful, hot July evening for the annual promenade. The junior-senior prom was originally scheduled for April 18, but was postponed when all school activities were suspended because of the coronavirus. The juniors. seniors, and their dates were finally able to have their prom on July 11.

Leading the promenade was Prom Marshal Anna Carter with her date, Trae Woolsey.  The Senior Class chooses the prom marshal.

The Class of 2020 includes 19 incredible seniors, who will finally be able to graduate on Saturday, July 18 at 10:00 a.m. on the football field, which is just south of the high school.

In addition to the stadium seating on the north and south sides, chairs will also be set up on the field and the track, so there will be plenty of room for guests to keep their social distance. (In case of bad weather, graduation will take place in the high school gym, but each senior will be limited to 10 guests.)

The commencement exercises will include speeches from Valedictorian Erin May and Salutatorian Anna Carter.   

Congratulations, Class of 2020!

Below are tributes to all of the seniors, which include articles written by this year's journalism class (Anna Carter, Sage Lohoefener, Alyssa Van Vleet, Amy Wentz, Mackenzie Urban, and Gracie Vontz), pictures, and a few English assignments - a Flipgrid video and short essays that the seniors wrote.

REGULAR MEETING

JULY 13, 2020

7:30 PM

DCHS LIBRARY

OBERLIN, KS

Because of the surge in COVID cases across the state and seniors' family and friends coming from all over, the graduation ceremony for the DCHS Class of 2020 has been changed to 10:00 a.m. to the DCHS football field on July 18.

According to Principal Brenda Breth, keeping the graduation ceremony as originally planned – 2:00 p.m. on July 18 in the high school gym – just isn’t the safe or smart thing to do.  "After talking with the seniors, we agreed to move graduation outside as well as move up the time to avoid the heat of the day," said Mrs. Breth.  In case of bad weather, graduation will take place in the high school gym, but each senior will be limited to 10 guests so that everyone can spread out.

Prom will go on as planned on July 11: promenade at 6:30 with the dinner, dance, and post-prom at the Gateway. However, all students and guests will have their temperature taken upon arrival at the Gateway.  Anyone with a temperature over 100.3 will be required to leave. Mrs. Breth said that health professionals have also recommended we try to spread the kids out – especially during the meal. Masks are not required, but it is recommended that all guests bring a mask for the dance.

The Class of 2020 received over $130,000 in scholarships at the annual DCHS Awards Assembly, which was done virtually this year because of COVID 19.  President's Awards, perfect attendance, and other awards were also announced. To watch the Youtube video, click on this link: 2020 Awards Assembly
