Mad Dash
Event Actions
Info
The Mustang Mad Dash is a great way to learn about DGS! Freshmen and transfer students are placed in small groups of approximately 10 students with two or three leaders who are sophomores, juniors and seniors. Throughout the afternoon, students will:
- listen to inspirational key-note speakers
- attend workshops about Student Activities, Athletics, and DGS traditions
- learn about how to have a successful freshman year
- view student-created skits about common issues they’ll face in high school
- take a general tour of the building (note: they will not have time to tour their own personal class schedules)
- ask questions and get advice from upperclassmen and make new friends
- have a provided snack and some social time to meet their new classmates
Participants will receive their official Mustang Mad Dash T-Shirt during the event. Appropriate casual school dress is required. Students will be expected to follow all safety rules and regulations. We will provide a safety plan before the event with more specific expectations and procedures.
Participants must arrive at the Main Entrance at 12:45 PM. They are expected to arrive on time and stay for the entire event. Entry to the event is prohibited after 1:30 pm. Parents must come into the school and sign their student out if they choose to leave early. Students must be picked up at the Main Entrance promptly at 6:00 pm.
We are happy to accommodate students with special needs. Please contact us before the event if your student has any special needs or circumstances (physical limitations, mental health concerns, etc.). If a student has dietary restrictions, they are welcome to bring their own snack.
