Open House is quickly
approaching! DeLand High School will celebrate Volusia
County Schools’ Open House Week on August 31 this year. The Open
House will begin with the distribution of schedules by our Student
Government members starting at 5:00 in the parent pick-up area by
the Gym. Parents should park in Student Parking located adjacent to
the Gym and Auditorium. Pizza and soft drinks will be served in the
Cafeteria by our Senior Class from 5:00 to 6:00. All parents and
students are then to proceed to FIRST PERIOD for opening comments at
6:00 from our Student Government President; our principal, Mr. Mitch
Moyer; our School Board representative, Mrs. Candace Lankford; and
our School Advisory Council President, Mr. David Solar. Parents will
find the following tables set up before 6:00 on the covered walkway
leading to the Main Office: a table sponsored by Herff Jones’s Class
Rings, an athletic information table and a table showcasing our
Guidance and Career Counseling offices.
The theme for the Open House this year is “Be There”, which
signifies an increased emphasis on parental involvement and on high
student expectations. We hope that you will play your part by
visiting DeLand High School and letting us show off the exciting
programs taking place in our school. Naturally, you are invited to
visit or volunteer at our school at any time, but please make a
point of doing so during Open House.
After Open House you and your parents
can stop by the gym and support the Lady Bulldog Volleyball team as
they take on arch rivals Spruce Creek! It’s the first game of the
season. Ticket prices are reduced for this important game! So let’s
pack the doghouse to kill the Hawks! Go Dogs!
