DCIS and GALS Prom 2022

DCIS and GALS Prom 2022

Big congratulations to the Class of 2022 DCIS HS S

Big congratulations to the Class of 2022 DCIS HS Seniors who received the DPS Seal of Biliteracy! 🎉

This year, there were 46 students from DCIS Baker who were awarded the Seal of Biliteracy in recognition of their proficiency in two or more languages.

The Seal will appear on their transcript and diploma and is a statement of accomplishment for future employers and for college admissions.

We are so proud of y'all. We can't wait to cheer you on as you continue this next part of your journey!

DCIS Travel Center: Looking for Host Families This

DCIS Travel Center: Looking for Host Families This July!

Ms. Wickham, Travel Center Coordinator, is working with the American Exchange Project (AEP), the nation’s first-ever domestic exchange program that sends recently graduated High School Seniors on free trips to one of our many partner towns around the US during the summer. The program was created to help bring together our divided country through domestic cross-cultural youth exchanges.

This is the first year AEP is coming to Denver, and this summer from July 16 – July 23, a group of young Americans from across the country will be in Denver. I invite you to join us by becoming an AEP Host Family.

Please consider joining AEP by opening your home during this time to one of the traveling students and act as their local family.

As part of minimizing burdens on our Host Families, AEP offers a $200 stipend for that week’s transportation and food costs. Let us know you’re ready to help by signing up via the Host Family Signup Page: https://americanexchangeproject.org/hostfamily/

Thank you!
