Mission Statement

In the global ever changing technological environment, it is our mission to provide students with an education that will help them to become intelligent, aware, and informed citizens.  Our students will be equipped with knowledge and skills that will enable them to raise their expectations of themselves, and succeed in a global environment.

In establishing this vision, we, the faculty of DRHS, believe...

All students have the capacity to learn and achieve.

We believe in the 3 R's of education; Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships.  We also add the power of Reflection,  which has allowed us to understand that students succeed if they come to school finding a caring and compassionate educational worldview.

We believe in higher expectations of students and staff that demands a personal growth of knowledge and a more challenging belief system for student success after graduation.  We challenge students to ask more of themselves so that they may see all they can achieve.

Our staff is committed to the individual and collective needs of our students.  They are encouraging in students' academic and personal goals, and they are continually adapting and remolding their teaching styles to accommodate the different learning styles of all students.
