NEW REGULATIONS: If you do NOT have/keep a 2.0+ GPA at DCHS, you are not allowed to enroll/continue in DC3 CTE courses such as cosmo, welding, electrical, automotive, CNA, etc. You must take care of business here before you can go over there.
If a student does qualify and receives 2 or more F's in the program, they will no longer be able to continue participating in that CTE course.

College Visits
You are allowed to attend college visit whenever needed. A parent or guardian does need to call in for it to be excused though. If possible, attend during that college's designated Senior Days (they tend to add more "bells-and-whistles" and often give away scholarships and merch during the visit). However, individual visits offer a time for a more personal tour (including the departments of study you are interested in). Click this link for thoughtful questions and hints of what to ask during your college visit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wMOWWyzWWNC-hPJwZuPybNlaDgPR0Ln1/view?usp=sharing
