The Bash on Buffalo

Please join us Saturday, April 6th, at 6:00 pm, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of our school's largest fundraiser - The Bash on Buffalo.

It's a captivating evening featuring a silent and live auction, food, drinks, and more!

NEW this year, proceeds from the Bash will support the purchase of a new school bus to replace old bus number 5. A much-needed replacement and one that will benefit all as this bus is used to transport students to extracurricular activities, retreats, and athletic events.
 
We look forward to bringing our community together for this great cause. Our students hail from all corners of the city and surrounding metro communities to form a wonderfully diverse student body. Approximately 90% of DCHS students partake in extracurricular activities which provide a number of invaluable benefits including boosting confidence and social skills, developing leadership and networking skills, enhancing time management, developing creativity, building teamwork experience, and providing opportunities to explore personal interests and passions with like-minded peers. 

Benefits such as these aid in our mission of preparing Leaders for Life, Centered on Christ to guide every student toward discovering their God-given talents and graduating with the confidence to lead positive change in the world.

The new school bus will directly support all students with reliable transportation to school functions as we nurture their growth during these formative years.
