Congratulations to our Cougar track and tennis athletes, who've wrapped up their seasons of spring sports! And a special tip of the hat to two Dell City ninth-graders – Iris Ayala and Reyes Espinoza – who qualified for the area track meet in Buena Vista, and did great in that event Wednesday (April 14).
A college education can be a gateway to opportunity. But it can also be costly, and the transition to college can be a challenge. In our dual-credit program, Dell City High students can earn college credits, learn what will be expected of them in the college context and develop the skills to succeed there – all free of charge.
Summer isn't far off – and now's the time to start making plans! The Dell City School will host Summer Camp June 1 through June 17, and it's free and open to all school-age students. Register your student for Summer Camp today – it will be a great start to the summer break.
The Easter Bunny came late this year to the Dell City School – after a power outage closed the school on April 1, the originally scheduled date – but it was well worth the wait. The Dell City PTO organized an Easter Egg hunt on Friday, April 9.
It was a week of grief and loving reflection, as the Cougar Community joined others across the region, and the state, in celebrating the life of DPS Trooper Mike Schulze. The school held a ceremony celebrating Mike's life Wednesday, April 7, the day before memorial services in Van Horn.
The fourth six-week period of the school year wrapped up last week, and our Cougar students were recognized for their academic achievements in a school Awards Ceremony.
Dell City School senior Tristan Smetak received a generous gift Friday, March 5, one that he certainly didn't expect. But then the giver of the gift hadn't planned on it either. Love and selflessness work in mysterious ways.
Paloma Medina – a native Dell Citian who joined Dell City ISD in October 2020 – fills multiple roles at the school, working with students from pre-K to high school. And with Cougar students of all ages, she's found work that's both challenging, and nourishing.
Having fallen under the spell of the Valley's peace and beauty, Rudy Bustamante moved to Dell City just six weeks ago – to become the school district's new maintenance staffer. But as a man who doesn't know how to sit still, and one with a plentiful supply of practical know-how earned through work and life, he started making a contribution here from the day he arrived.
