🎉 DCLA Non-Formal School Dance 🎉
We’re celebrating our JH/HS students and their great behavior over the past several weeks with a simple, fun night together! Mr. Mac is putting together a non-formal school dance this Thursday evening from 8:00–10:00 PM.
This will be a relaxed event for DCLA students in grades 7-12 to hang out, enjoy music, and spend time together. No need to dress up — just come ready to have a good time.
Please note: this event is for DCLA students only. No outside guests will be allowed.
We’re proud of our students and the way they’ve represented DCLA lately. Let’s celebrate together! 🦅🎶

🪑 SEATING & FAN EXPECTATIONS
We are the visiting team, so sit on the side of the score table. There will be a section reserved for our fans, but it will not be available until our game begins. There is a game after ours, so we will need to clear the fan section immediately following our game.
Tuesday will be the first-ever basketball games played in the new facility, so expect possible delays and be patient as everyone adjusts.
🚫 No posters or noise makers are allowed.
👜 CLEAR BAG POLICY
The OKC Fairgrounds has a clear bag policy and walk-through scanners in place for the OSSAA State Tournament at the OGE Coliseum.
