Duchesne High School

Duchesne County School District (DCSD) wishes to inform its public that our community schools are safe. DCSD has been made aware of a generic, hoax email claiming there are explosives inside of every school. No specific school or district name was mentioned in the email. Other school districts in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming have received the same email in the past 24 hours. Officials of DCSD have been in contact with local law enforcement who will be vigilant throughout the school day. Again, at this point, DCSD has not received the hoax email or any information of its schools experiencing any reports of threats. All other known incidents in other district locations have been deemed non-credible following investigations.

Duchesne County School District will be destroying confidential special education records of students born in the year of 1996. In accordance with federal statutes, each student’s records may be considered “no longer needed to provide educational services” and may be destroyed after the student turns 27 years old. Unless otherwise requested by parents, guardians, or former students of legal age, special education records, which meet the prescribed requirements, will be destroyed after January 5, 2024. Several reasons exist for destroying these records. Most obvious is the storage problem that would be created by keeping such bulky records indefinitely. Another reason is the need to maintain confidentiality when continued existence of the outdated records serves little or no logical purpose. Finally, even for persons with legitimate interests in the student’s status, such outdated records may be potentially misleading when considering current functioning. Parents, guardians, and former students of legal age may request copies of any special education records on file. Anyone with questions regarding this policy and its implementation may contact Janalee Goodrich at 725-4500

Open Enrollment begins December 1, 2023 for students living outside of Duchesne County

Once again, thank you for supporting the Eagle Pantry. The purpose of the pantry is to help provide food to any students and their families who may be in need. We do our best to ensure the privacy of those who are utilizing the pantry. If this is a service that would be helpful to your students, please contact Mr. Daron Gatherum, Mr. Sam Hoopes, or Mrs. Jenny Fabrizio at the high school and the appropriate arrangements will be made. With the upcoming holiday break, we want to make sure our students have what they need. Thank you again for your help and support.

DHS Families and Community: Thank you for your continued support of the Eagle Pantry. Thanks to your support we were able to provide Thanksgiving meals to over 10 families in the community, in addition to food being sent home with students during the week. We are currently making plans to provide additional food boxes for the upcoming winter holidays. We are running low on many items but are in most need of canned soups, stews, chilis, peanut butter and easy snacks such as crackers, granola bars, jerky etc. Any non perishable canned goods are always in demand. If you are able to contribute to the pantry please drop donations off at the front office. This is a valuable resource available to students and their families. Thank you again for helping make the Eagle Pantry possible.
