Deep Creek Middle -

🚪✨ Our hallways just got a major upgrade. To celebrate Black History Month, our students have been transforming their classroom doors into tributes to icons, movements, and milestones. We aren’t just decorating; we’re learning, honoring, and building community one door at a time. Stay tuned this week as we showcase each door!

So proud of this crew! 🗣️✨

Our debate team did a great job representing us at the competition this Saturday. We hope they had a blast at the city-wide tournament!

A vibrant BHM celebration at DCMS! 🥁 Students loved drumming and dancing with Cultural Ambassador Kojjo Opoku-Reeves. The smiles said it all! Thanks @heritagevillageproject for an amazing experience. 🐝

Found a whole lot of heart in the hallways today! ❤️🎓

For Day 5 of our Black History Month spirit week, we celebrated HBCU Day alongside our Valentine’s spirit. Whether we’re representing the incredible legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities or spreading kindness in our favorite reds and pinks, today was all about one thing: Love. At DCMS, Black History Month is about more than just the past. It’s about building a future where everyone is celebrated, accepted, and loved. ✨🌹

🎙️ This Black History Month, we’re proud to share stories rooted right here in Chesapeake. On our latest podcast episode, Dr. Ella Ward, educator, former School Board member, and current Chesapeake City Council Member, reflects on a lifetime of service and the lasting legacy of the historic Cornland School. You’ll also hear from Principal Wade Sloan of Portlock Primary School about how students honor Black History Month in meaningful ways that help them confidently say, “I can.”
