It is once again that time that the Damonte Ranch Football Program would like to recognize our amazing staff for all they do in keeping our players “Academically Strong”.

For each home game this season a senior football player will select a teacher that has greatly influenced him in his academic career at DRHS.

The teacher will be recognized at the home football game as an honorary captain and join the players for the coin toss on Friday night as well as receive a Tailgate Package from Raising Cane’s

This week’s DRFP/ Raising Cane’s nominee is Mr. Sawyer of the Social Studies Department.  He was selected by Sr. Football player Juwan Easley. Here are a few words Juwan had to say about Mr. Sawyer.

  “Mr. Sawyer is the teacher that won’t let you give up easy. He’ll always push you to be at your best no matter what. Whether it’s in the classroom or outside the classroom. He’s not only a great teacher but also a great friend. You can talk to him about anything  whether it’s about football or life in general.  I am glad I was able to have had him as a teacher.” – Juwan Easley

The Damonte Ranch Football Program and Raising Cane’s would like to sincerely thank Mr. Sawyer and the ENITRE STAFF for all they do!

Students please remember that if you need to leave school early for an appointment, either by your parent picking you up or driving yourself, you need to bring in a note, from your parent/guardian, to the attendance office that morning, in order to receive your street pass.  You will then be allowed to leave class at the time designated on the street pass.  Please do not ask your parents to call in order for you to leave early, it must be in writing.  Parents can also sign out their students in the office.  Thank you.

Hey Mustangs! We look forward to seeing you TONIGHT at our Homecoming football game, where our Varsity football team will take on the North Valleys Panthers.   We are excited for this year’s half time parade which has grown adding to our excitement. If your club will be competing in the Float Parade competition, please make sure that your float is staged behind the gate, on the track, next to the snack bar by 3:30 that day! Please remember, your float can be carried, or pulled, but may only be pulled by a golf cart, no exceptions! Our judges will be judging the floats after the staging/parking of the floats are all lined up. The winner will be announced during half time where the trophy will be awarded to the winning float and the team/club.

We look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations!

Hey Damonte!  Got a car for Homecoming but realized you haven’t gotten it washed and decided to wait to the last minute? No worries because Hispanic Club is having a carwash on Saturday, September 27^th from 10 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Come down to the O’Reillys next to the Walmart at Damonte Ranch Parkway and get your car washed. They will be taking money donations. Come by and support this club so you can pick up your date and show up to the dance in a Clean Dirt Free Car.
