It continues to be a privilege to serve this community and to work alongside our students, staff, families, and community partners in support of student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Delhi High School, we believe every student has the potential to think deeply, solve complex problems, and achieve at high levels. <strong>Our instructional focus this year is on using purposeful questioning to develop students&#8217; thinking and reasoning skills.<\/strong> We are committed to creating classrooms where students are challenged to analyze information, defend their ideas with evidence, ask thoughtful questions, and engage in meaningful discussions. By strengthening these habits of thinking across all content areas, we are preparing our students to become confident learners, effective communicators, innovative problem-solvers, and leaders who are ready to succeed in college, careers, and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to our instructional focus, we remain committed to increasing student achievement and ensuring every student is prepared for success after high school, whether that path leads to college, a career, military service, or another meaningful opportunity. Through rigorous instruction, high expectations, and strong support systems, we will continue to provide opportunities for every student to grow, achieve, and reach their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also recognize that education is most successful when schools and families work together. Your support, involvement, and partnership play a vital role in helping our students thrive. I encourage you to stay connected, communicate with us, and actively participate in your child\u2019s educational journey throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we begin this new school year, I am filled with optimism and excitement for what lies ahead. Together, we will continue to build upon our successes, embrace new opportunities, and create an environment where every student can <strong>Grow, Achieve, and Thrive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your continued support of Delhi High School. I look forward to an amazing year with each of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s a Great Day to Be a Delhi Bear!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kenya Grimes<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><em>Principal, Delhi High School<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenya Grimeskgrimes@richland.k12.la.us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-27","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":281,"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27\/revisions\/281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/richland.k12.la.us\/dhs\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
