Thank you to all of these Cadets who shared their wise words. More importantly though, thank you to our veterans, for their courage, strength, dedication, and valor.

Our staff is ecstatic to have been given this amazing opportunity. However, with all of this comes a price, quite literally.

Donations of $20 and above would be greatly appreciated. To donate, please get in contact with Major Lynch (rscott_lynch@dpsk12.net) or reach out to any individual on our Cadet Staff (see the "Staff" tab) if you have any questions.
