First, thanks to our incredible PTA for a wonderful lunch on Friday! Delicious! And thank you to the parents who helped at Friday’s dance! It was a lot of fun, and I know the students had to crash when they got home!
And we are thrilled to share some incredibly exciting news with our DDMMS community. It is with great pride that we announce that Dillard Drive Magnet Middle has been recognized by Magnet Schools of America (MSA) as a Magnet School of Excellence! Magnet Schools of America is a national association that recognizes outstanding magnet schools across the country for their commitment to high academic standards, innovative curricula, and promoting diversity and equity in education. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to providing an exceptional global educational experience that empowers students to excel academically and become global citizens.
This prestigious recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaborative efforts of our students, teachers, staff, and the entire school community. Achieving the status of a Magnet School of Excellence is a significant accomplishment, and we could not have done it without the commitment and support of each one of you.
