We will never forget.










Eleven DCLA juniors and seniors are currently earning 66 college credit hours through concurrent enrollment! Their courses range from Comp I and Digital and Financial Literacy to U.S. Government and Introduction to Speech.
Our students are experiencing college in several different ways. Some attend live classes through Zoom, some travel to campus for in-person instruction, and others complete asynchronous online courses on their own schedules. These flexible options provide access to a wider variety of courses and opportunities.
Concurrent enrollment allows students to challenge themselves, build confidence and independence, and strengthen skills such as organization and time management. They experience the expectations of college-level work while still having the support and guidance of their high school teachers when they have questions or are unsure about what to do next.
By earning college credit while still in high school, students may also reduce the time and money needed to complete a future degree. We are proud of these students for taking advantage of opportunities that can open doors and prepare them for success after graduation! ❤️🤍💙
DCLA students have the opportunity to attend an ACT Prep Workshop at NOC Tonkawa on Thursday, October 1. This workshop will help students learn testing strategies, practice important skills, and build confidence before taking the ACT.
This is an especially timely opportunity for our 10th graders, who will take the PreACT shortly after the workshop!
Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., and the workshop will run from 9:00–11:30 a.m. Students must register online using the link or QR code on the flyer. The workshop fee is $20, payable at the door.
Mrs. Bledsoe will take interested students, and the group will eat at Simple Simon’s afterward. The buffet costs approximately $12.
The school will provide transportation to and from the workshop only. Students are responsible for the $20 workshop fee, lunch, and any other expenses.
Students should register and then let Mrs. Bledsoe know they plan to attend. Take advantage of this great opportunity to prepare for the ACT or PreACT! 📚
