September Student of the Month
Zachary “Tate” Meinberg, nominated by Mrs. Lincoln, for his responsibility, dedication to completing homework, and consistent kindness and respect toward others. Tate’s cheerful attitude, strong work ethic, and love of reading—he finishes about one book each week, often graphic novels—make him a wonderful example for his peers.

Hey Durham Community.

We wanted to share that yesterday, DIS had a fantastic assembly hosted by the Butte County Sheriff's Office on the critical topic of online safety. They learned valuable tips on how to stay safe while using social media, gaming, chatting, and other online activities. It was an incredibly educational presentation, and we are grateful for the insights shared.

Thank you to the Butte County Sheriff's Office for equipping our kids with the knowledge they need to stay safe online.

What a great start to the 2025 Homecoming. Today at DHS, the dress-up theme was "Dress Up as Mr. Stanley," and our students really knocked it out of the park—they definitely know Mr. Stanley's style. Just a reminder that tonight at 7:00 PM, we have a very exciting Power Puff game lined up. For those who can't attend but still want to catch the fun activities, it will be streaming live at https://fan.hudl.com/usa/ca/durham/organization/10882/durham-high-school

DIS Jog-A-Thon

Our students had a fantastic time running laps at our annual Jog-A-Thon! A huge thank-you to all the volunteers who helped make this event a success — we couldn’t have done it without you. This is our ASB’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and the money raised helps support experiences like Shady Creek, the 8th Grade Trip to Sun Splash, the Honor Roll Trip, and many other fun activities for our Panthers.
