We loved welcoming our DTSOI alumni back to campus to share their honest experiences about life after high school.
Hearing real college experiences from former Phoenix students made a big impact.

This week, DTSOI students explored the rich histories and vibrant traditions of Native American cultures. We were honored to welcome guest speakers, Kailee Stoneberger and Tiffany Deerinwater who shared their stories and perspectives, giving our students a meaningful connection to the voices of Indigenous communities.
In the library, students also participated in a fun “speed dating” activity featuring books by Native American authors, helping them discover new stories, new characters, and new ways to understand the world.
Students also had the opportunity to learn the Aztec legend of how the sun and moon were created with Ms. Hoke. They used warm and cool colors to design their own artistic interpretations. The creativity was incredible!
Mrs. Strickland helped students study traditional Native American names and their meanings, deepening students’ appreciation for the beauty and significance behind them.
Another highlight of the week was practicing weaving through a virtual lesson provided by the Shiloh Museum! Ms. Weiner and Ms.Anderson's students loved the hands-on activity and exploring this important cultural art form.
We’re grateful for the learning, reflection, and celebration throughout our school this week. ❤️
