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
