Take a tour of DHS with us!

Whether you are already in the area, or are moving into the district in the near future, please schedule a meeting with the counselor who would have your student on their caseload. Students are assigned to counselors based on the first letter of their last name (see our Home Page for contact information). Prior to this meeting,  please complete the new student registration paperwork provided at this link. Bring this paperwork and a copy of your student's current transcript and/or class schedule to the meeting. This will assist the counselor in preparing a schedule for your student. Also, please provide the counselor with the anticipated start date of your student to ensure we have enough time to prepare a schedule.   At the time of your meeting, we will be happy to  provide you and your student with a tour of the school.

Before your student can be enrolled into our student database, proof of residency is required.
