IMPORTANT CALENDAR CHANGE! At their March 18, 2019 regular meeting, the school board voted to convert the school make-up days that were previously designated on May 23 & 24 to staff work days and not student contact days. So, barring any future school closings, the last day of school for students will be Wednesday, May 22, 2019.

The remaining make up day is April 22

Should there be additional school days cancelled, make-up days will be determined at that time. 

                                  Winter is here!

In May, 2018, US News and World Report released its rankings of America's best high schools. Detroit Lakes High School was given a silver ranking on a gold, silver, bronze rating scale. Within silver designation, US News and World Report ranked DLHS in the top 8% of all high schools in the nation. Further, it ranked DLHS 49th out of over 500 high schools in Minnesota. Again, that places DLHS in the upper 8% of the high schools in the state.

The rankings of the high schools as conducted by US News is based upon the individual high school's performance on their required state assessments. In Minnesota, that would be Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA's). Other criteria for ranking is the individual school's graduation rate, and participation in Advanced Placement program.
