I liked my school because of the size and the individual help I was given. I have Dyslexia and most of my teachers were helpful. I plaid both football for 3 years and basketball for Four years. I learned a lot from you coaches especially the last 2 years. My coach taught me a lot about life and what to expect in the outside world. With out my coaches I would not be moving on to college.

Dee-Mack gives the opportunity of a small town education. It provides the family feel that creates life long friends. The teachers are dedicated and supportive of all students. They work to make the school enjoyable everyday. If I were able to change one thing, I would like to see more diverse class choice.
