Semester 2 Honor Roll, 2022-2023. Great job everyone! #GoHawks
We are proud to announce the winners of the 2022-2023 Gary Harvey and Bev Jones sportsmanship awards: Auden Hummel and Garrett Horner!
These 8th grade students played at least 3 sports this year and demonstrated great sportsmanship throughout; this award was voted on by all of the DMS coaches.
Congratulations to Auden and Garrett on earning this well deserved honor!
Major congratulations are in order for Kayla Epley, Aubrey Lawrence, and Kaylynn Price; these three ladies qualified for the RC PRIDE Work Ethic Certification at Driver this year!
To receive this honor, they had to maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher, had an attendance rate of 98% or higher (less than 4 tardies or sign in/outs), received 1 or less discipline referrals this year, and showed a dedication to serving others through logging a minimum of 4 community service hours. In addition, these students were presented to the DMS staff and had 3 teachers sign off verifying that they displayed Persistence, Respectfulness, Initiative, Dependability, and Efficiency (PRIDE) on a daily basis. The requirements for this honor mirror the requirements of the Governor's Work Ethic Certificate which can be obtained by seniors at their high school graduation.
Wonderful job to you all, and thank you for demonstrating PRIDE through your 8th grade year!
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Law Enforcement Division, Outdoor Education Section and the Indiana National Archery in the Schools Program would like to congratulate two DMS Students as Academic Archers this year. Awesome job Emma Duncan and Kaylee Timmerman!
This year we created a new award that will hopefully become a tradition at DMS.. the Hawk Award!
The purpose of this award is to celebrate our students, encourage RCSC PRIDE, and the following traits: good character, positive influence with peers and in the classroom, humility, academically motivated, and an overall good role model.
Congratulations to Garrett Horner and Julie Cockerill for being the first recipients of this award and for setting the tone for all future Hawks on how to always put your best foot forward each and every day. Thank you for being great role models at DMS!
Last but certainly not least of our last day of school activities was the 8th grade field day & color wars! It was a beautiful afternoon to spend time outside working together and having fun!
Best of luck in high school, class of 2027 - we will miss you! ❤️💙💛💚
This week we rewarded students who met the 4th quarter challenge (no referrals, no Fs, no missing work) with an extended lunch and free time at the park. Great work to all who met their goal!
Congratulations DMS Track & Field,

The Driver YANA Club was able to team up with one of the high school senior FCCLA leaders, Alliyah Trausch, to help with a project she is leading called Kids Caring for Kids. This group has been meeting after school during January and February to work on making blankets that will be donated to local children in need.
Thank you to Mrs. Neville and Alliyah for helping our students learn how to sew and create things for others; it was a great experience! YANA stands for You Are Not Alone, so this project ties in perfectly with one of the group goals which is spreading positivity to others!
Some of our SADD Club members stayed after school yesterday to help sort out over 200 valentines cards so that they were ready to be delivered today! Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraiser this past week! #SpreadKindness #HappyValentinesDay ❤️
