Welcome to the DGN Family
Welcome to the DGN Family
The information contained here supports incoming DGN Freshmen and their families through the registration process for the 2021-2022 School Year. Our goal is to simplify the process with the theme-
Learn, Plan, & Request
The high school experience for a student should be one filled with excitement, maturity, memories and relationships. The course selection process and choosing courses thoughtfully will allow for those concepts to thrive! As you LEARN, be openminded and follow your passions. As you PLAN, begin with the end in mind. Sketch out all four years, and beyond. Do this as many times as possible. Prior to your REQUESTS, understand the implications of each choice for each year to be sure the capstone course of the curriculum is attainable.
Elective course offerings are often the way students discover future career pathways, get involved in student activities, and establish a group of friends through high school and beyond. In most cases, course electives are selected based on student interest. Let's begin, follow the STEPS below. We are thrilled to welcome the Downers Grove North High School Class of 2025!
