this is the last week for Prom ticket sales.  Tickets are $50.  We will not be selling tickets the week of Prom or at the door.  Friday will be your last chance to buy a ticket.  Don't miss out on your chance to attend this year's Prom!

Do you know what you are doing and where you are going after high school?  Damonte Ranch will be offering the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test as a resource and career exploration tool to help guide you.  The ASVAB is free and tests you in everything from math and science down to mechanics and electronics to help you find out what areas your strengths and talents lie.  Once graded you will be given a breakdown of all your scores and an explanation of what they mean.  The test is offered to all sophomores through seniors and can be taken multiple times.  Come down to the career center and sign up.  The test will be given Wednesday, March 20.  

 

Oh my goodness, it's been too long since we've had a Donut Day!  To remedy that, JAG Damonte will be hosting a DONUT DAY on Wednesday, March 13th during lunch.  We will be selling donuts both in the Student Store and at a cart in the main hall.  Donuts sell for only $1, so get there quick - we always sell out!
Join the Damonte Mountain Bike Team where we ride local trails 3 days a week and participate in 4 races in our season (July 1 - October 15).  Sign ups start in May!
