I went to DSA for my senior year of high school, but the students and staff all made me feel like I had been a part of the school's community for much longer. Each of the teachers were attentive to the specific needs of every individual student and left me with more tools for success than I could have hoped for. I will always be grateful for being able to leave high school knowing I had a group of people who were rooting for me!

Third grade brought history to life with their incredible longhouse projects!
After learning about Native American tribes and their way of life, our students designed and built their own longhouses—carefully considering structure, materials, and purpose. The creativity, teamwork, and pride they showed were on full display.
Great work kids
What an incredible night at the science fair and Robotics Meet the Teams night!
The event was filled with creativity and engineering genius—from a rubber-band–powered balsa-wood helicopter soaring into the air in hopes of achieving the longest flight, to lightweight Boomilever structures pushing the limits of strength and design as they held heavy loads from a single wall attachment.
Over in the Scrambler competition, teams launched vehicles carrying a fragile egg straight toward a wall, trying to stop with perfect precision just before impact. The tension during those runs was real! Nearby, a Mission Possible Rube-Goldberg device wowed the crowd as a mix of paperclips, golf tees, and marbles set off a chain reaction that cleverly sorted each item.
The Solar System project brought a creative touch, with a detailed model showcasing several celestial objects and capturing the beauty of our cosmic neighborhood.
The day wrapped up with all the event winners gathered together—smiles, medals, and an amazing sense of accomplishment. So proud of all our young scientists and engineers! 🏆
The entire night was presented extremely well!! Everyone did an amazing job!!!
