Members of Damascus Middle School’s eighth-grade class celebrated the completion of their middle school years on Wednesday, May 20. Many students were recognized for outstanding academic and athletic performance, character, leadership, and service throughout the program. In addition, the Citizenship Award was presented to Hunter S., the George Hall Award for highest grade point average and SOL scores was presented to Lucy H., the Justin Foundation Horizon Award was presented to Jakob L., and the V.T. Rector Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Case M. This group of students has been heavily involved in a variety of activities at Damascus Middle School, and they will be missed. Best of luck to them as they begin their high school careers!
It's going to be a great summer at the pool, thanks to the Justin Foundation! 💦
Bike From/To School 🚲: Mr. Brandon Dale, Student Support Coordinator for Communities in Schools of Appalachian Highlands, led the pack of more than 20 students who biked from DMS to the Damascus Town Park on May 19 and from the park to DMS on May 20! This was a wonderful opportunity for students to get outside, practice their riding skills, and have fun while challenging themselves! A special thanks to SORBA Tri-Cities for providing ramps and to Mr. Dale, Communities in Schools, the Town Of Damascus, the Damascus Police Department, SRO Justin Greer, EO, and Sundog Outfitters for their help in making this opportunity possible!
Seventeen students from Damascus Middle School answered the call to community service and met the academic and citizenship requirements to qualify as Junior Washington County Community Scholars this year! In addition to being honored at the awards ceremonies, students were honored at a luncheon on May 19. Damascus mayor Katie Lamb spoke with students about the value of community service and highlighted the impact of volunteers on the recovery of Damascus in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The meal was generously donated by owner Luke Neisius of the Tipsy Bear in Damascus, and desserts were catered by local pastry chef Joe the Baker. Thanks to all the students and community members who contributed to our celebration. You truly make our community amazing!
