Family Bulletin
Dear DPA Families,
As we come out of last week, we are absolutely ecstatic and on fire celebrating an incredible milestone for our senior class — 100% of our 12th graders have received one or more college acceptances, collectively earning more than $13 million in scholarships, and every single senior is leaving with a clear pathway plan for what comes next. This achievement is a reflection of years of relentless hard work, perseverance, and commitment from our scholars, staff, and families. Our entire school community, 6th-12th grade had the momentous opportunity to celebrate with one another in our second annual “College Decision Day” ceremony.
What made this moment even more special was the opportunity for our sixth graders to have a front-row seat to these celebrations and engage directly with our seniors. We want our younger scholars to see firsthand what is possible, to understand the level of dedication it takes, and to know exactly why we push them so hard each and every day all the way through the final day of school.
Now more than ever, it is critical that scholars arrive at school every day, on time, in full uniform, and ready to learn. At DPA, we outwork everybody because this is what we do. Excellence does not happen by accident — it is built through consistency, discipline, and partnership.
Thank you, as always, to our families for everything you do to support our scholars and our school community. Your partnership continues to make the future incredibly bright for all of our scholars.
