A story about an educator that left an impression on you- My most influential mentor in education was Fumie Bouvier. She was my senior English teacher here at DCHS. She encouraged me to become a teacher. Besides realizing that I made good grades in English, she recognized my love to help others understand class material. She was also my supervising teacher when I student taught here at DCHS. (I have never left.) She “made” me start teaching the very first day of school. It was a great learning experience from a great teacher.

Our 9th Grade boy's Basketball team closed out the home schedule by defeating Owensboro Catholic. 9th Grade Academy students were admitted free, and several came out and supported the boys. Our 9th Grade team currently has a 15-6 record heading towards tournament play. Go Panthers!

Off and running..............


The second semester has gotten off to a great start. Students are settled in to their new classes, and there is some great teaching and learning going on in the academy. Personally, I have welcomed a new addition to the family that has kept me very busy away from school. Check out the picture of Brennan attending her first party, courtesy of the wonderful DCHS 9th Grade Academy teachers.
