We believe our students should have access to learning in their high school classes and in the broader community. Most universities expect students to participate in extracurricular activities, learning and service in order to build their skills as well rounded learners and community members. This list of resources and programs will be updated quarterly with new offerings, deadlines, and resources. If you have suggestions of programs for our students please email Rebecca_Stone@dpsnc.net
