Senior Send-Off Celebration

  • This event is proposed for the seniors’ last day, Friday, May 22. It would include breakfast, a mandatory graduation rehearsal, a senior social on the field, and a final clap-out at the seniors’ elementary schools.

Family Senior Sunset Event

  • This proposed event would take place at Damascus High School on the field on Wednesday, May 27, from 6:30–8:30 p.m. and would provide students and families an opportunity to gather, celebrate, and take photos together on the field.

To ensure a smooth transition and balanced enrollment, the district is conducting a boundary study for Damascus High School and surrounding communities.
