They were one of two plays chosen to advance to the State Meet. This is the first time since the 1970’s for a DHS One Act Play to compete at the state level.
The 6A State Meet is scheduled for Saturday, May 6 in Round Rock ISD!
We are very Gator Proud!

Dickinson ISD is asking voters to consider a $120 million bond referendum during the May 6 election.
The Board of Trustees approved calling for the election at the February 6 board action meeting. The projects identified in the bond referendum focus on the increasing student enrollment, additional safety and security needs, and the growing student interest in career and technical education programs. 
If the bond is approved, the district’s tax rate of $1.294 will not increase.
The growing housing population, appraisals and refinancing of existing debt all contribute to keeping the tax rate the same.
As early voting approaches, Dickinson ISD would like to answer frequently asked questions in regard to the bond.
Today’s frequently asked question is:
“How many years will the additional tax burden last?”
It is a 30-year commitment. However, the District will take advantage of refinancing opportunities and will always be looking for ways to reduce the taxpayer burden.

Imagine coming into the shelter as a terrified puppy.
Spending months not knowing what your future would hold.
Not trusting any new people.
Then one day a sweet lady comes to the shelter and says “she’s beautiful, I would like to foster her to help her build confidence “ Your foster Mom and family work with you everyday to help you be a big strong confident girl.
She works with a trainer and helps you to understand that people aren’t that bad.
You grow to love everyone you meet.
80 days with her foster family.
A total of 354 days of being a shelter pup.
Velvet met and fell in love with her forever family today!
Not a dry eye in the whole place!
We really are blessed to have the ability to shelter and rehabilitate these animals.
We couldn’t do any of this without foster families!
Thank you so much Jennifer for loving Velvet and giving her what she needed to be ready for her forever family Happy Tails Velvet! We will always love you If you would like to become a foster and really make a difference for a pup in need please apply here
