DALLAS -- The first day of school is just around the corner. And if you still haven't found enough activities to enrich your school year, Dallas High School's Dragon Pride Night can help.
The open house is scheduled from 6to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7, in the forum area at Dallas High, 1250 SE Holman Ave.
Organized by the DHS site council, the goal is to see every student -- particularly freshmen -- find an activity or sport to join.
Dragon Pride T-shirts and hot dogs will be free for incoming freshmen. Hot dogs will sell for $1.50 to everyone else.
In another treat for freshmen, LaCreole Middle School Principal Steve Spencer will give the opportunity for his former students to send him tumbling into a dunk tank, event Coordinator Natasha Beliakoff said.
Dallas School Board members, Superintendent Christy Perry and DHS administrators will be on hand to answer questions. Members of DHS's leadership class will be giving tours of the school.
As for activity booths, sports, clubs and all core subjects will be represented.
"We will have at least 45 booths from all departments here at the high school," Beliakoff said.
Club and activity representatives will answer any questions and also have information about volunteer opportunities.
Beliakoff stressed that the event is open to anybody wanting to find out more about the high school, even those without children attending.
"As long as the community comes, it will be a success," she said.
