Participate in the DNHS Alumni Graduate Profile Focus Group!

Halecia Wimpy, the Community Schools Coordinator for Del Norte High School, requests participation in the DNHS Alumni Graduate Profile Focus Group! They are nearly done collecting data from a variety of stakeholder groups, including students, parents/guardians, staff, and community members. They can accommodate 12 individuals in each focus group, so they need to know which date works best for you. If they have enough individuals to do two focus groups, they will choose the two most populated dates in the sign-up. Please sign up for ONE focus group that works best for you. They will provide lunch, dinner, and/or snacks depending on what time your focus group is held.
