Our teachers loved posing with this beautiful display as we prepared to welcome our students back to the building yesterday. A huge thank you to Card My Yard Chesapeake for this generous donation and for helping us start 2026 with so much joy. 🎊📚


Ten amazing girls from DCM attended the "Girls for the Win" conference at the ATC in VB and had an unforgettable day! They listened to an inspiring motivational speaker, connected with women entrepreneurs, and met professionals from STEM fields across the board. The girls left energized, empowered, and excited about future possibilities.
Huge thanks to the organizers at Junior Achievement of Greater Hampton Roads and all the women who shared their stories, you helped spark confidence and curiosity in the next generation of leaders. Go DCM! 💪✨

We traded students and teachers for Santas, Reindeer, and Elves today! The "12 Days of Holiday Cheer" is going strong, and the creativity is next level.

The weather outside is frightful, but the tropical vibes are delightful. Here's to Day 8 of the 12 Days of Holiday Cheer!
#ItsAGreatDayToBeAHornet




It’s Elf Day at DCMS and the North Pole has officially taken over the hallways. We have the best "helpers" in the business! Seeing our teachers and students matching, laughing, and embracing the chaos of the "12 Days of Holiday Cheer" is exactly what this season is about.

Our students understood the assignment today. 10/10 execution on the winter aesthetic!


Day 4 of Holiday Cheer brought all the sparkles. The outfits are festive, but the smiles are the best accessory. 📸

Our hallways were divided today for the 12 Days of Holiday Cheer! We saw plenty of green (feeling slightly mischievous?) and a whole lot of red (bringing the joy!). Whether you’re feeling a little "Grinchy" or full of Santa spirit, our students and staff showed up in style.

Today’s "12 Days of Holiday Cheer" theme was all about getting cozy. It’s days like this that remind us how unique our school spirit really is. We love seeing our students expressing themselves and having fun together before the holiday break.
Proud of our students for bringing the warmth and the style today! 👏
#ItsAGreatDayToBeAHornet




Talk about turning up the holiday cheer! Our students and staff absolutely NAILED Day 1 of the 12 Days of Cheer: Holiday Shirts and Socks!
#ItsAGreatDayToBeAHornet




Our Paint Club students were absolutely crushing it, leaving their artistic mark on the school by painting ceiling tiles. Check out these future Picassos having a blast! 🙌 Seeing our students express themselves and take pride in our space is what it's all about.
Creek Days are back and better than ever, starting again next Monday!

From being an innovative Modern Classroom Project teacher and coach 💻 to mentoring so many of our students and staff, she is always the first to offer a helping hand. We are so lucky to have her energy in our halls!

To show our appreciation for everything they pour into our students, we treated the team to a custom soda mixing station this afternoon. It was the perfect mid-day pick-me-up!
Huge shoutout to our amazing volunteer, Mrs. Jen Mendoza, for stepping up and serving up these sweet treats with a smile. We couldn't do it without our community!

Our staff and teachers took a moment to pause and reflect on why they are grateful for one another. Each feather represents a teammate, a mentor, or a friend who makes our school a better place to learn and grow.
We believe that to teach gratitude to our students, we have to model it ourselves. We are so thankful for this incredible team!
