We are beaming with pride for our student-athletes who brought their amazing Hornet Spirit to the parade and the game.
We love being part of this incredible Deep Creek community and seeing our students get a preview of their future high school. Thank you for representing DCMS with such spirit and pride!

This past Tuesday was all about hands-on learning, making memories, and having a total blast outside the classroom walls. Just look at those smiles! 😄
We are so proud to see our students exploring, collaborating, and representing our school so well. These are the days they'll remember long after they leave our hallways!

We are blown away by the incredible spirit today. Seeing our hallways flooded with pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month was a powerful reminder of what this community is all about: coming together and supporting one another. The energy was amazing!

We are so proud of our incredible DCMS Student Council Association (SCA) for leading the way. Here they are, hard at work creating posters to spread kindness and awareness throughout our school. Their dedication to making our community a better place is truly inspiring!
Creating a safe and supportive community takes every single one of us. Being an upstander, offering a kind word, or including someone can make all the difference.
