4 EARLY REGISTRATION In an attempt to begin classroom instruction on the first day of school, we will again be conducting an early registration this coming August. Early registration for the school year will be held on the following day: August 22, 2018 (7:00 AM 5:00 PM) DHS Cafetorium A newsletter with additional specific information will be placed on the DHS website this summer. Your continued support and effort in helping us improve student learning at Denmark High School is truly admired and certainly appreciated. On behalf of everyone at DHS, we thank you. Freshmen Open House Attention all parents of incoming freshmen. On August 28th at 6:00 p.m. we will be having the Freshmen Open House. This is an opportunity for students and parents to learn about what high school will be like. It is also an opportunity to ask all of the questions you may have about high school, which will hopefully take care of some of the first year jitters before school begins. You will receive a letter with more details later this summer. Please mark your calendars for August 6:00 p.m. in the lower level of the cafetorium. We are looking forward to getting to know the students and parents of the Class of 2022!!

Denmark's music theatre program was also honored with the Community Engagement Award, which Tiffany received on behalf of the school (pictured).
