4S buyers: Sophomore Class at DNHS? YES!

4S Ranch parents and students rallied together and showed up at Monday night's board meeting prepared to make their case.

Parents said their kids were promised both a freshman and sophmore class when the school opens in August, however fewer than expected enrollment numbers, budget cuts and layoffs were reasons for the district to have a change of heart.

In an unexpected turn, Superintendent, Don Phillips announced at the meeting that DNHS would accept enrollment for a sophomore class.

Shock turned to cheers and tears as parents and students celebrated the good news. Next year's sophomore class will start with about 228 students.

Congratulations to the parents and students of the new sophomore class at Del Norte High School!
