What's New at School?

DAYTON–Fall Sports is in full swing at Dayton High School, and the athlete's goals are to keep their grades up to be eligible to play, cheer in games, and receive a WIAA award.

The Athletic Director, Sam Korslund, asked about the Fall Sports athlete's current GPAs. He then used this information to calculate each team's average. High School Football has an average GPA of 3.311. High School Volleyball has an average GPA of 3.452. High School Fall Cheer has an average GPA of 3.497.

These average scores qualify the three teams for a WIAA Distinguished Team Award based on GPA. If these athletes work individually to keep their grades up, they can become eligible for an academic award that will be calculated toward the beginning of the Winter Sports Season.

A rooter bus was provided by the school for High School students to ride to Touchet where the Dayton Bulldogs Football team was scheduled to play last Friday, October 13, at 1 p.m. Students were asked to fill out a pre-trip form excusing them from their last class period, and pay a $10 fee to ride on the rooter bus.

a "Pink-Out" themed High School Volleyball game will be held against Garfield-Palouse on October 19 at home game. Junior Varsity will start at 5 p.m., followed by Varsity at 6 p.m. The "pink out" theme will continue for the football game against Tekoa-Rosalia in Dayton on October 20 at 7 p.m.

The 2024 Senior Class is selling the "World's Finest Chocolate" as a fundraiser for their Senior Trip. These funds will be used to cover costs needed during their Senior Trip, traditionally taken prior to graduation. Contacting or getting ahold of a Senior will be necessary to purchase these chocolates.
