DSA Students, why not join a club?
Joining a club is a great way to meet other students with similar interests, have fun, gain leadership opportunities, or get volunteer hours (all good for building your college resume!). And it won't break the bank! Teachers at DSA currently sponsor more than 20 clubs!
Is your favorite activity not on the list? Start your own club. Request the form from Ms. Nkenge at ntianu_nkenge@dpsnc.net. Your completed request will require approval by the principal. You will need a plan and a teacher to sponsor the club. Many clubs get their start this way!
