DSST charter network wants to open a new high school
As you likely know, we've been advocating for a Noel High School for our Bulldogs in the Far Northeast. From turning out hundreds of community members at DPS board meetings to gathering 1,000+ signatures on a petition (thank you for signing and showing your support!) the journey to open a Noel High School continues and we aim to keep you in the loop. This article highlights this work as well as a board meeting held earlier this week where the opening of a Noel High School was discussed. We will do everything in our power to open a Noel High School that will offer the same high-quality education that we strive to provide our middle school students.
