The Homework Center. The staff, students and Local community members have worked in past years to successfully run an after school program designed to promote positive attitudes and results on academic areas at DMS. Study skills, including quiet time and organization, are focused upon. As in the words of co-founder Jim Bodnar, "It’s better to teach a man to fish than to merely give him a fish." We at the Homework Center believe teaching of study skills is a lifelong lesson which can be used long after the student leaves DMS. For more information about the Homework center, please contact the Guidance office.
