The first weeks of March in any school year is always filled with transitions. On both the Senior High School and Junior High School fronts, we have nearly completed the task of registering our current students and welcoming our newest families to D’Evelyn. While course selection for the next school year gives us a small peek into next year, we are reminded that there is much more to happen this school year. This is marked by many recent events these past weeks and yet another transition of sports seasons from winter to spring. I want to extend a huge thank you and job well done to our Student Council for conducting several school-wide events during Wish Week. I especially want to recognize the entire student body and the D’Evelyn Community for the generosity displayed by raising over $20,000.00 to support our Make-A-Wish kid, Luka. Your generosity will help Luka’s wish to surf the waves of Hawaii come true. My congratulations to all student-athletes who have competed this winter season in cheerleading, boys and girls basketball, and girls swimming and diving. An added shout-out to our girls basketball team who will be competing this week in the 4A State Basketball Final Four. Catch the Lady Jags in action at the Denver Coliseum on Thursday, March 9 with an 11:00 a.m. tipoff. You can catch the action of spring sports (boys volleyball, baseball, boys swimming and diving, girls soccer, girls tennis, girls golf, and girls and boys track and field) as these seasons have just begun. Best of luck to all spring sports student-athletes! We have been just as busy with many other activities and events, including a fabulous stage production of the musical Amelie. The performances by our student actors, vocalists, and instrumentalists were outstanding. And the production and tech crew saw to all the details that made each performance go off without a hitch. Congratulations and thank you to all involved! Don’t miss our series of Junior High and Senior High school band and orchestra concerts this week (see the school calendar for dates and times). Our Speech and Debate team, Mock Trial team, MathCounts team, Forensics team, Winter Guard, and students participating in vocal and instrumental honor ensembles have all represented D’Evelyn high school proudly and impressively. Your commitment to these co-curricular activities is noticed and appreciated. As you can see, it's been a winter full of events and activities and all participating students have represented our school competitively and proudly. Stay tuned as we enter the spring season I am sure more success and accomplishments are to come. A Note From Our Girls Head Basketball Coach - Chris Olson Starting way back in November, 359 high school girls basketball teams dreamed of playing the final week of the season and making it to the Final Four. In six classifications, only 24 teams will fulfill that dream, and the Jags are thrilled to be 1 of them! For only the 3rd time in school history, D'Evelyn girls basketball will play for a chance to go to the state championship game. This team has been phenomenal all year and is playing great at the right time of the year. Help us keep it going by supporting us next Thursday, March 9, at 11 am at the Denver Coliseum, when we play the #3 seeded University Bulldogs. We'd love to have you in person - it was awesome to see so many former and future players and their families at the Great 8! Even positive energy watching on the NFHSNetwork helps. Tickets and parking passes can be purchased here. Thanks, as always, for your support. GO JAGS!!

Seniors and Senior Families, we are three months away from Graduation and the end of the D’Evelyn journey for the Class of 2023. This is an exciting time for all involved, but also a stressful one. D’Evelyn wants to make sure that everyone is on the same page and has all of their questions answered before we go into Spring Break. On Tuesday, March 14th at 7:00 pm in the D’Evelyn Auditorium, a mandatory Senior parent meeting will be held. During this meeting, we will cover information about Senior events throughout the rest of the school year. This includes but is not limited to: Senior Banquet, Senior Finals, Baccalaureate, Prom, After Prom, and Graduation. Additionally, the Senior Contract will be distributed and reviewed. We want to make sure that everyone enjoys the end of their time at D’Evelyn, and we have learned in the past that having a Senior Contract is the best way to ensure that everyone in the D’Evelyn community has a good spring. We look forward to seeing all of you in the Auditorium on Tuesday, March 14th. If you have any questions before this meeting, please reach out to Assistant Principal Eric McCaslin-Hahn ([email protected])
