Divine Child High School has begun making preparations for distance learning. We understand that this will be challenging for many students, as we are not an exclusively online institution, however, the need to be partners in our student's education is more important than ever. Please take some time to review the roles for students and parents, and what teachers and staff will be expected and able to do for our students.
