Leadership Circle logo

Dickinson ISD has been awarded the Texas Comptroller Gold Leadership Circle Award for the third consecutive year. The Comptroller of Public Accounts launched the program in December 2009 to recognize local governments across Texas that are striving to meet a high standard for financial transparency online.
The district must reapply every 12 months and continue to meet qualifications to have the award renewed. 


DHS Class of 2012 prepares for Graduation
Ceremony at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 1  
 
Dickinson High School will have 570 reasons to be Dickinson proud this Friday night, June 1 as the Class of 2012 marches into Sam Vitanza Stadium at 7:30 p.m. for the Graduation Ceremony, marking the largest class ever to graduate from Dickinson High School.

Stadium gates will open at 6:30 p.m. for visitors to get a seat. The stage will be set up at the scoreboard end of the football field facing the field so that visitors can sit on the home side or visitors side and still see the stage. The ceremony will also be broadcast with close-ups on the stadium scoreboard. In a change from previous years, the graduates will be marching over from the new DHS competition gymnasium allowing the visitors side seating to be completely open to guests.

The ceremony will be streamed live via the school district website at www.dickinsonisd.org to allow family and friends unable to attend the ceremony to watch it live. On Friday night, those wanting to watch the live stream will just need to click on the link available on the district's homepage.

Congratulations Dickinson High School Class of 2012!
