Our Debate Team had an inter squad match this evening. They did a wonderful job!! #DiscoverU #HandleHardbetter

Good afternoon Discovery family. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Below are the announcements for the upcoming week. May 5-9 is Teacher Appreciation Week. I hope that you will take time to let our DHS teachers know how much you appreciate everything they do. Wednesday May 7th is also National School Nurse Day. Please let Nurse Emily know that we appreciate her as well. Tomorrow also begins AP testing. Remember that on days you have an AP test, you will only need to come in for that exam. Monday is AP Biology, Tuesday is AP Gov, Wednesday is AP Lit, and Thursday is AP World History. Monday-Enrichment, Tuesday-Enrichment, Wednesday-Advisory, Thursday-Family, and Friday is Senior Awards Day. Also on Thursday, former Shuford elementary students will have the opportunity to participate in a Walk of Graduates at 8:30. A permission slip will be coming home with participating students in the next day or two. This week's Character Awards can be found at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AFjvd4clsNW-d_PuyfIT2Jl2HUsL97rP/view?usp=sharing. As we are coming to the end of the 24-25 school year, make sure that you finish the year strong by continuing to work hard in all of your classes. If there is anything we can do for you, don't hesitate to ask. Take care. #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Congratulations to Ms. Greenwald, 2025 Newton-Conover City Schools Teacher of the Year!!! We're very proud of you!! #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

From Mr. Escamilla about Variety Show: I wanted to take time to invite everyone to this year's Variety Show! If you aren't familiar with this show, think the muppet show meets the band world. This is a student run show, from the acts to the backstage and tech crews! Both nights provide the same acts, but on Saturday we crown the Band King and Queen! We are also doing a silent auction for baskets provided by the different sections and various donated items such as a cake donated by Sarah Anne's Cupboard. This is a great way to support the band and watch these students show off their talents!

Good luck to our Science Olympiad team as they travel to Raleigh tomorrow for the state competition!! #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Our district used school safety funds to provide window wraps for our school. They look amazing!! #DiscoverU #HandleHardBetter

Good afternoon Discovery family. I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend. Thanks to everyone for your support for our Spring BBQ on Friday. We were able to raise roughly $3900 which will go towards different supplies for our students to use at DHS. Below are the announcements for the week. On Tuesday, our sophomores will be traveling to ASU for a tour. Those students should plan to be at school by 7:30 to allow us plenty of travel time so we can arrive in Boone by 9:00.
