Versatility Breeds Individual Experience Whether planned or spontaneous, the lighter and quieter moments at DHS always had their place. A myriad of impressions encountered on various field trips led to youth gaining personal values from their travels. People found it difficult to be themselves and reveal any true emotion besides resentment for close-minded faculty and joy at more relaxed moments in a school day. Fascination for life itself found an outlet in a varied elective curriculum.

Not always the most pleasant aspect of education, the curriculum gave students the insight for their future lives. 11
