We have a good school. Our teachers go beyond the classroom to care for our students. This is a really stressful time for our students, teachers, parents and staff, but we are all working hard together. I love our school and our students and staff. I have been teaching here since 2014 and hope to retire from here. #TeamDCS #LCGatorNation Close Quote
