Damascus Christian School: Seniors

FRIENDSHIPS THAT LAST A LIFETIME

Grads 2021

The senior class is quite special to us here at DCS, as some of them have been with us since Kindergarten. It’s a close group of friends with bonds that will last a lifetime.

Our seniors experience many fun activities throughout the year one of the highlights being a living classroom trip such as the Grand Teton/Yellowstone trip at the beginning of the school year. This trip lasts 9 days and focuses on leadership and a scientific Biblical worldview through God’s creation with Mr. Hayley (a wildlife biologist) and Mr. Hergenrather (a creation geologist).

DOUBLE ACCREDITATION & DUAL CREDIT => READY FOR COLLEGE

Also, because of DCS’s exceptional double accreditation and dual credit offerings, seniors are ready for college.

IMPORTANT DATES FOR OUR 2023-2024 SENIORS

NOW—Start gathering photos to share at the Senior Sunset Event and Graduation now. Typically, the same pictures are used at both events. At the Senior Sunset Event, parents’ voice-overs will play with the pictures; at Graduation, music will support the slide show.

Send around 20 photos to Lisa Clear, and she will choose the best based on clarity and resolution.

·         Digital photos should be compiled on a USB drive and submitted to the school office. Mrs. Clear will collect them there.

·         If you have actual photos you would like to use, scan them and add them to the USB with the rest of the photos. Contact Lisa Clear for any questions you may have about this process (lisa.clear@damascuscc.org)

·         Record a 2-minute message to your senior that you would like played at the Senior Sunset Event while the picture slideshow is playing. These voice-overs are an opportunity to share in your student’s success in graduating, relating your joy in them, your hopes for them, your memories of them, etc.
