     ASB members have the opportunity to represent DDHS at Mt. Hood Conference events, meetings, and workshops. Many of them work with outside groups that support DDHS.

     “Student Council is a group of leaders,” said the current ASB president senior Aaron Busi.  “There’s the popular students, the lesser-known students, the outspoken students, and the quiet students. You don’t have to fall within one of those categories to be part of serving our community.”
