DHS Remembers

Site Admin

DHS hosted its annual Remembrance Day ceremony this morning in the Gordon Wood Auditorium.

The ceremony included a slideshow honouring DHS graduates who were killed or had served in the World Wars.

Mrs. Palermo read a story that her father, a former DHS teacher, had written about a young man who died in World War II.

The DHS band gave us a powerful rendition of “The Last Post” followed by a moment of silence.

At the end of the ceremony, students came to the stage and pinned their poppies on a Remembrance Day wreath.

Mrs. Gardams leadership class organized and set up for the ceremony. Thanks to them, and to all DHS staff and students that helped us to honour those who have sacrificed so much on our behalf.

We remember.
