Please DO NOT PARK in the DES Bus Lane on Monday, September 15th. If your student is waiting for their DHS siblings, they will wait with Ms. Michele Mokres in the DES Courtyard until it is time to walk them over to DIS to catch the late bus with their DHS siblings, who will be dismissed at 12:50 PM.

Hello, Durham community.
Mr. Wilkes has decided to have a more laid-back vibe for the new school year. He now has an emotional support animal in his office to help him through the stressful days. She even got to take a picture for the yearbook.

Everyone, meet Mazie.
Make sure to give her a warm welcome when you visit DHS.

When I Was A Kid
Hello, Durham Community.
We hope all our students and families had a fantastic first day of school! We are super excited to share something really special about our Durham alums. Yesterday, we got to celebrate two former students, Nicole Luce and Precious Martinez.
They used to walk these halls and even raced back from the taco truck during lunch. Now, they are proud teachers, living their dreams right here at the school that helped them grow. We couldn’t be prouder of Nicole and Precious. Their journeys remind all current Durham students that with hard work and passion, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Dream big, dream.

Hello Durham Community

This past Friday, our Community Booster Block Party was full of laughter, sunshine, and good times. A few of our future 6th graders were introduced to their new principal, Josh Rowe, in a fun and splash-filled fashion.. A few lucky students got to dunk Mr. Rowe, and he’s already joking that he remembers exactly who they were and that a little friendly payback might be in the works. 😄 Thank you for the great spirit, Mr. Rowe.
