Huge thank you to everyone who adopted an "angel" from our Angel Tree! Your kindness has filled our hearts (and our tree!) and will bring so much joy to our kiddos. Because of you, these families will have a truly special holiday.
We are so proud of the compassionate community we have here at DCMS!

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!
#ItsAGreatDayToBeAHornet
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!
The battle for the Spirit Stick was fierce, but the 7th graders came out on top in our Cereal Drive, collecting 54 boxes! Together, Deep Creek Middle collected 125 boxes total to help our neighbors. ❤️
The prize? Bragging rights, the Spirit Stick, and... Dr. Page wobbling through the cafeteria as a turkey! 🦃😂 Thank you to every family who donated. We love our community!
We wrapped up our Military Family Spirit Week in style today. Our Hornets showed up in Red, White, and Blue to celebrate the courage and commitment of our military community.
From wearing yellow, to meeting mentors, to today’s patriotic finale—this week has been a powerful reminder of how much we appreciate our service members and their families.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us turn our hallways into a celebration of service! Have a great weekend, Hornets! 🐝
We saw RED in the hallways today—in the best way possible! 🔴🇺🇸
Our Hornets showed up in red to demonstrate our unwavering support for our military families. But today, we didn’t just wear the colors; we connected with the community.
We hosted a special luncheon where active duty service members and veterans sat down with students for real conversations. It was a true mentorship session where students asked about:
✨ The reality of military life & joining up
✨ Career paths in the service
✨ What it really means to serve
Thank you to our guests for answering questions and mentoring the next generation. Seeing our school covered in red while these conversations happened was a powerful reminder of how strong this community is.
These students have demonstrated excellence in Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Character, and Citizenship—the core pillars of NJHS. It was inspiring to celebrate their dedication alongside their proud families and our dedicated staff.
Congratulations to every inductee! We can't wait to see the positive impact you'll make on our school and community.

Our Hornets showed up in Camo, Red, Blue, and Green today to represent the different military branches.
It is awesome to see our hallways filled with so much color and support during Military Family Month. Way to go, Hornets!

So, what is it? Creek Day is our all-school club period. Most of the student body breaks out to explore their passions, learn new skills, and connect with friends who share their interests. It’s a huge part of how we build community.
