Class of 2021 College and Future Plans Announcement Day On May 3 members of the senior class wore a t-shirt or sweatshirt to school to announce their college commitment or future plans. Students were invited to take a photo at the school monument or to submit a photo. The images are a lasting digital memory of the event for all to enjoy. Thank you to Zoe Roos, our Communication Specialist, for photographing this event and creating this special digital memory. Congratulations and best wishes to the Class of 2021! Habitat for Humanity Last week was Faculty and Staff Appreciation Week. The support from our PTO and the school community was incredible. In addition, members of Habitat for Humanity (Advisor-Mia Corvino) worked quietly on a project to demonstrate their appreciation for the Daniel Hand High School Faculty and Staff. Please click on the link below to view a brief video that will provide additional details about what these amazing students did for our school community.
