A message from Dr. Vandal

Softball is STILL playing today! Yes… even with the wind blowing a million miles an hour across North Dakota. 🌬️🥎 Can’t make it to the field? Here’s a radio option that’s definitely worth a listen while you try not to blow away yourself. 📻🔥 Let’s go Maroons! ❤️🩶

Unfortunately the junior high golf meet scheduled for today at Crosby Country club has been cancelled due to high winds.

🥎 PLAY-IN GAME DAY 🥎

The Divide County Maroons Softball are heading to Minot tomorrow to take on the Rugby Panthers Softball in regional play-in action!

This young group of ladies has continued to grow all season long, young athletes stepping up and competing at the varsity level. The improvement, confidence, and teamwork we’ve seen lately shows this team is peaking at the right time.

They’ve battled through tough games, weather changes, and growing pains all season, and now they’re ready for postseason softball. The future is bright for this program, and these girls are proving they belong on the big stage.

Good luck tomorrow ladies — play hard, trust each other, and leave it all on the field! 🥎🔥

Hey Maroons Nation! The Divide County Junior High Track & Field team had an awesome season! The team had a lot of new faces this year and they were a great group of kids. The level of talent was top notch! The coaching staff wants to say thank you to all the Junior High Track & Field athletes, thank you for all of your hard work and we look forward to next season!

The DC coaching staff sets up varsity qualifying standards. If a JH athlete meets or exceeds those standards they are invited to join the varsity team at the end of the JH season. The standard is either a certain time or distance, similar to qualifying for the state track meet. This year we had 7 JH athletes qualify to join the varsity team, those athletes were: Liliana Gunlock, Payzli Billingsley, Jude Fitzgerald, Bella Bays, Raelynn Rogers, Jaylynn Rogers, & Milo Goldade! Please join me in congratulating these individuals as well as the whole JH team on a great season!

The Divide County Varsity Track & Field Team will be competing in the Regional Track Meet this Friday ( 5/15) in Minot. WE ARE DC!

Group picture includes all DC Track & Field athletes.

Way to keep showing up, competing, and representing the Maroons!

Attention to any parents/guardians of students who will be taking driver's education through the district this summer: Due to some building projects in the high school building, driver's education class will now be at the elementary school instead of the high school. If you have a son or daughter who is 14 years of age and have not yet signed up for driver's education and would like to enroll them, you may contact the high school office or reach out to Mr. Johnson at zachary.johnson4@k12.nd.us. There are also enrollment forms in the high school office.

Classroom dates for driver's education are May 28, 29, June 1-4
