STUDENT OF THE MONTH
NOVEMber 2015
Samantha Stinnett
Samantha Stinnett has been named
December’s Student of the Month by
the Science Department.
Samantha Stinnett, is an amazing student. Samantha
has earned an A or an A+ in every class she has
taken. She, enjoys writing and really enjoys grammar
as well. When she graduates in May she plans on
attending IUPUI or Indiana University. She is not
quite sure of her major at this time.
Samantha has developed a tremendous work ethic,
something she admires in her Mom. Samantha has
been impressed by how hard her Mom works, and
how she has been able to balance all the different
things she does in her life. Mr. Burdsall had the
following to say about Samantha “In the classroom,
Samantha is one of the hardest working students I
have had the pleasure of teaching. She is committed
to her studies and spends a great deal of time preparing for her courses. She is the top student in my ACP
biology class and she has spent a tremendous amount
of time outside of school preparing for the rigor of
this college class. She has taken all of the tough
science classes and has excelled in all her classes.”
What many people don’t know about Samantha is
that she is a budding photographer. Ever since she
took photography, it is hard for her to stop taking
pictures. She enjoys taking pictures of abandoned
architecture. Samantha is a talented photographer
and she would like to use this talent to become a free
-lance photographer. We have put together a small
slide show of her work to share with you her hidden
skills.
Civil War photographer Matthew Brady stated, that “I
had to go. A spirit in my feet said go. So I went.”
Samantha, our hope is that you follow your passion
and let your feet take you on a marvelous adventure
as you go.
Congratulations, Samantha on becoming Student of
the Month!
Student of the Month is an award based on a person’s good citizenship,
character, service, honesty, and all around good behavior.
There is no academic or athletic excellence required to be nominated for
this award.

Each of these tests are generally taken during the 11th and 12th grades. The ACT is an achievement test that

writing section. To determine which tests you should take, check the websites or admissions offices of the colleges
you are interested in to see which one they require.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT NEWS
Local author Mike Mullin met with the English department this
month to plan some workshops and activities for students on how
they may become better writers. Mr. Mullin is the author of
the Ashfall trilogy, which has won several young adult awards and honors. The trilogy is available for checkout in the high school library.
Mullin, who moved to Danville in May, holds a black belt in Songahm
Taekwondo speaks frequently to high school students on how practice
and persistence in learning Taekwondo is similar to the writing process.
We are honored to have this opportunity to host what Mike calls some
"funshops" for our students. Details TBA.
MEET THE CANDIDATES NIGHT
DCHS senior government classes will be hosting the 2016 primary, "Meet the Candidates Night" on Wednesday, April 13th in the high school auditorium. Candidates for
local, county, state and federal offices will be invited. The format will be a short 3-5
minutes speech by each candidate to explain their political platforms and agendas. The event will start at 6 pm.
There will be plenty of opportunity for the public to mingle with the candidates before
and after the event. A short intermission break will also be included in the program to allow the public to
speak directly with the candidates.
For further information please contact Mike Neilson, Government Teacher, [email protected] or
call the high school at 745-6431 ext. 222
Reminder of some security changes here at the high school:
Parents, as always, you are welcome in our school at any time. When you arrive at Door 1, please make sure to use the buzzer
and to make yourself visible for the camera. Also, please be ready to identify yourself and the nature of your visit. When you
come into the main office, you will be asked to show identification. If you have an appointment, we will collect your identification and provide you a visitor’s badge. When you return to the office to return your visitor's badge, your identification will be
returned to you. If you arrive at school during a passing period, you will not be admitted into the building until the passing period is finished. We realize that this may be an inconvenience, but it is one that we feel is necessary in helping to ensure the safety of our students.
Students, we ask that you too identify yourself when you are using the buzzer at door 1. If you attend math tutoring or club
meetings before school, or if you need to access the LMC before school, you will be required to stay at your destination until
the 8:25 bell. If you attend Ben Davis, are enrolled in Peer Tutoring, or do not have a first period class, you will need to sign in
at the office when you arrive at school. You will also need to remain in the office until the bell rings.
