DPA High School Football
11-2 #Period
Our DPA Python Football Team reminded us what heart, preparation, and belief look like on the field. Though we fell short against Bell in the State Championship, we walked away proud, grateful, and lifted by the lessons earned through effort, teamwork, and resilience.
Thank you to our coaches and scholars for leading with grit, determination, and love for this community. They took us to the biggest game in DPA history, united us in hope, and showed our scholars what commitment truly looks like.
We didn’t just make it to the championship—we built a foundation. We learned. We grew. And this story is far from over.

ATTENTION: 8th Grade Families
|
|
Thank you to all the eighth-grade families and scholars who attended our mandatory Zoom meeting on Thursday, November 13. It was wonderful to connect with you and ensure that we are fully aligned on the expectations for the leaders of our middle school, our 8th grade scholars. Your presence and partnership make a powerful difference.
As shared during the meeting, space in our ninth-grade class is limited, and the application for DPA High School is highly competitive. The application window will open on December 15th, 2025 and it will close on February 2nd, 2026, so we encourage families to submit all required materials by that deadline. Additionally, scholars who are currently struggling to meet behavioral or academic expectations will be meeting with the DPA team and their families in late November and early December so that we can provide targeted support and ensure we are all working together toward their growth.
Our DPA High School continues to do incredible things—earning recognition as a three-time “Bold School” performer and standing as the only high school nominated for this elite award during the 24–25 school year. We want our eighth graders to be fully prepared to join that legacy. Let’s continue working together to build strong study habits, positive social habits, and a mindset that will set them up for a successful transition into ninth grade.
