Greetings from the Principal!

Welcome to Falcon Country! Since 1958, Divine Child High School has ministered to both young men and women. I am very fortunate to be a part of this school community as an alumna, faculty member, and parent. As principal, I am proud to be leading Divine Child High School into its Jubilee year. Our commitment to Catholic education has remained constant over the past 49 years. In Dearborn and around the globe, for nearly a half century, we have boldly celebrated, in red & gray, our Catholic identity.

A Divine Child High School education is a gift that keeps on giving. In my own experience, the diploma I received here in 1972 is the foundation upon which I have built professional, spiritual, and personal successes. My youngest child will graduate this year. Both my children, I am proud to say, attended DC and as a parent, I wouldn't have had it any other way. A Catholic school education is the most precious gift I have to give to them.

A Divine Child High School education builds character. Our faculty challenge DC students to live out their principles through Christian service projects, and dynamic discussions on issues of social justice. Last spring, our students, hammers in hand, went to both Nazareth Farms and New Orleans to assist distressed communities in rebuilding their homes.

A Divine Child education nurtures skills. This year, we have adopted "college readiness" as our school objective. We have reviewed our students' ACT scores, which are markedly better than the state and national benchmark scores, and we are still not satisfied. We recognize that our students are competing in a global economy and that they must master 21st century skills well before they enroll in world class institutions. A DC education prepares them to meet the challenges of an ever-changing marketplace.

We are proud of what we do and invite you to stop by for a visit. There are a number of opportunities for you to be on campus and take a closer look at Divine Child High School. Our Open Houses are October 21, 2007 and January 31, 2008. We also offer a Discovery Day which is an afternoon at DCHS where an 8th grader will follow a typical freshman schedule. Discovery Day is October 12, 2007 beginning at 11:45 and ending at 2:30. Finally, we offer a shadowing program where your sons or daughters are invited to partner with a current DCHS freshman for a typical day at our school.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us through this brochure. Please take the time to visit us on campus.

Mrs. Peggy Knuth'72
Principal
