DASH students recognized at school board meeting

Kudos and applause to two outstanding individuals at DASH, part of the School District of Lancaster , who were recognized in the December School Board meeting – John Banghart and Christopher Johnson!

John, a senior at DASH, has emerged as an exceptional leader within the classroom. His unwavering focus on achieving his goals not only turned his own academic journey around but has also become a source of inspiration for his peers. John goes above and beyond by mentoring, supporting, and encouraging his fellow students to strive for their best. He openly shares his personal experiences, emphasizing the transformative power of positive choices. The staff at DASH, along with Principal King, express their deep gratitude for the positive impact John is making on both staff and students. As John eagerly looks forward to graduation, we applaud his dedication and leadership.

Chris has embarked on a remarkable journey of academic growth and self-discovery. Setting personal goals for better grades, Chris has demonstrated incredible commitment to his education. Beyond academics, Chris is mastering the art of self-regulation by pausing and reflecting on his actions before reacting. He bravely communicates his needs, taking breaks when necessary and engaging in quiet conversations with teachers to express concerns. The staff at Dash and Principal King couldn’t be prouder of the progress Chris is making. This is a heartfelt encouragement for Chris to continue his excellent work, as he continues to embody resilience and determination.

Congratulations John and Chris!
