DCHS HOMECOMING PARADE!
The Homecoming Parade will take place Friday, Sept. 25th @ 1:00PM. Floats will be lining up by the high school, so students and staff will be present along the street. Please be patient and slow down while going by the high school. As the parade proceeds down the street, we ask everyone to pay close attention to the children, as this is an exciting time for all in attendance. We want to keep everyone safe.
We also ask the public to please try to clean around your area after the parade, as it will help get the street open sooner, as there will be less of a need for clean up after the parade.
We also want to thank the City of Glendive for allowing DCHS to block off the street to have the parade. GO BIG RED!
Practice is underway for our Dawson FFA Horse Evaluation and Livestock Evaluation teams!
With the help of Mrs. Hoagland and collegiate judge Connley Hoagland, our members have been working on developing their evaluation skills, comparing animals, placing classes, and building the confidence to defend their decisions.
Judging takes practice! Students learn to look beyond first impressions and evaluate structure, balance, movement, muscling, soundness, and overall functionality while strengthening their observation, critical-thinking, decision-making, and communication skills.
📍 Next stop: Forsyth!
Our teams will compete in their District Horse Evaluation and Livestock Evaluation contests on Monday.
We appreciate Connley taking the time to come back and share his collegiate judging experience with our members. Having former Dawson FFA members return to help the next group of students grow is one of the great things about agricultural education and FFA. 💙💛
Good luck to our judging teams! Practice hard, trust what you know, and have fun! 🐴🐄🐑
🎨 Advanced Biology: Walking Water & The Liquid Showdown Our Advanced Bio classes kicked things off with the Walking Water experiment! Using folded paper towels and five beakers (three filled with vibrant red, blue, yellow, or green water, and two left empty), students watched capillary action defy gravity as water "walked" right across the towels to fill the empty cups.
They followed that up with a Liquid Showdown, using a penny drop test to compare how water’s surface tension fares against oil and isopropyl alcohol. (Spoiler: Water’s strong hydrogen bonds put up a serious fight!)
🪙 Sophomore Biology: Heads vs. Tails Penny Drop Our Sophomore Bio classes took on the classic Penny Drop Experiment, investigating an age-old question: Which side of a penny can hold more droplets of water—heads or tails?
🏆 TOP DROPPER: Massive shoutout to Clayton Cleveland, who completely blew everyone away by fitting more than 235 drops of water onto a single penny in a single trial! Talk about steady hands and ultimate surface tension mastery! 👏🎉
Our DCHS Cross Country Team traveled to Dickinson to compete in the Becki Wells Invite on Thursday, Sept. 17th. These kids put in endless hours and miles of running to compete each week.
Thank you to Holly Kassner for sharing her photos. GO BIG RED!

They helped unload vehicles, serenading community members with an awesome playlist. They sorted through electronics, helping keep the event space organized, and found some cool treasures like an old film reel projector; all while ultimately giving of their time to help staff an event that benefits the community.
Some came to help after just arriving home from a football game at 3 AM., which is dedication. Great job, members, on showing your leadership and service mindset in action. We continue to be impressed by your dedication to the greater Glendive community.
The community and our students turned out in great numbers, and we look forward to volunteering again in 2028!
As the sun finally broke over the horizon, it set the perfect backdrop for the start of their final high school journey.
Of course, no early morning is complete without a sweet treat! The activity wrapped up with everyone sharing boxes of doughnuts, pouring cups of juice, and snapping a ton of pictures. 🍩🧃📸
Here’s to the memories behind you and the bright year ahead. Let’s make it unforgettable, Class of 2027! 🎓💛
The Advanced Welding class from last year started these table carts and could not finish them because we were waiting for parts. The Metals class this fall finished and delivered them to the EPEC. The red carts were built for the EPEC and the blue carts were built for the Glendive Gun Show. We are proud of the classes who completed this project.
Students paired up to test each other using the classic ruler drop method, exploring how our bodies respond under three different conditions:
👀 Visual – Eyes open, catching the ruler without warning.
👂 Auditory – Eyes closed, relying only on the cue word “Drop”
✋ Tactile – Eyes closed, reacting to a shoulder tap.
Through this fun and engaging experiment, students experienced firsthand how living things constantly interact with their environment by responding to different forms of stimuli. 🌍🔎
Armed with a Police Report, clue cards, and chemical samples (sodium bicarbonate, dextrose , and vinegar cleverly simulating saliva and poison), students investigated the evidence, tested hypotheses, and pieced together the mystery.
But the challenge didn't end there. To get the final "missing" evidence, they needed to go to the office and recite the school's universals.
It wasn’t just science in action—it was critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork at its best. 👏
Way to go, future forensic scientists! 🧪⚖️🔍
