Intro to Foods Chopped Challenge!

The Intro to Foods class at DLHS participated in the Chopped Challenge! Students were challenged to use the required ingredients to prepare a creative entrée that was appealing to the eye, flavorful, and had a variety of colors and textures.

The winning dish was Lemon Peppered Chicken Alfredo, prepared by Brielle Amundson, Brody Ballard, Adrian Jones, and Carson Ohman!

Eagle Feather Ceremony

On Wednesday, May 14th, DLPS held its annual Eagle Feather Ceremony. During this ceremony, American Indian high school students were given a feather to celebrate their accomplishment of completing high school, and a quilt representing warmth and protection as they move forward in life. The eagle feather will adorn our graduating students' caps & gowns at the graduation ceremony.
