DPHS Baseball update: H3H is back- we once again fight mental health!
Come spend the day with us!
On Sunday, April 27th, DPHS Baseball is hosting the 2nd Annual H3H Marathon Day of Baseball at the DPHS Baseball Field.
We are proud to be one of the only high school baseball program in Washington to take this on—and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
Why This Event Matters:
This day is about much more than baseball. We are coming together to raise mental health awareness, especially for student-athletes. One of the day’s highlights will be a powerful presentation by Kimber Erickson of KELLENCARES, a local foundation dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health.
Mental Health Talk: 12:00 PM in the theatre
Open to all—parents, players, and community members are encouraged to attend
What to Expect:
Baseball games all day
Music & a live emcee to keep the energy high
Silent auction- we could use more items :)
Delicious food
Tons of fun activities for the whole family!
We'll see you on April 27th!

The Home Link Drama II students invite you to their spring performance of Seussical JR. on May 2nd and 3rd at 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM in the High School Auditorium.
These students are doing an amazing job—working hard to learn all the singing, blocking, and choreography with just five hours of rehearsal each week—and they're having a lot of fun doing it!
Home Link hosted their amazing annual career fair for secondary students. Students had the opportunity to explore a variety of careers, learn from industry experts, and ask all their questions.
This spring, we are also excited to host webinars featuring the Screenagers series, a documentary series that explores the impact of screen time, social media, gaming, and digital balance on youth and families. These films provide valuable insights and practical strategies to help families navigate the challenges of growing up in a digital world. Feel free to share this information with others!
