I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY ALMA MATER!!!! im so proud! Mr. Dorsey taught me a lot! it's a shame the new principal is getting rid of programs in the Performance Arts program where even now famous Jason Derulo graduated from. =( that upsets me! I don't know where I'd be without DCA! Dillard High My Dillard High!! =)
