This week DPHS students worked on their 7 Mindsets project for September.

Our tech students had a classroom speaker from True North Equipment who spoke about careers in ag technology and equipment. The presentation gave students a closer look at the variety of paths available after graduation. We appreciate the chance to link classroom learning with real-world opportunities.

Come out to Petersburg on Monday for a pick-me-up and support a small business!

The 11th grade class attended the annual College Fair hosted by LRSC. Over 35 colleges, military recruiters, and sponsoring employers were in attendance. More than 250 students from across the region, including Pembina to Rugby, took part. Our students connected with employers, explored college majors, and discovered schools they hadn’t considered before.

Attention Parade Participants

Dakota Prairie and Lakota girls competed in a game of Powderpuff Football. Grades 9 and 11 (black team) were teamed up against grades 10 and 12 (pink team). The pink team ended in the lead with the final score being 18-14. Thanks to the football boys for coaching and officiating the game!

Our 7th graders are learning an important and interesting tradition - how to properly fold the American flag. They'll be putting their new skill to use as they help take down the flag each afternoon.
