Here is what's happening in Dorchester right now...

2018-19 Football Division Announced:  As reported previously, the upcoming 2018 football season will bring the return of high school football to Dorchester on Friday nights.  This Dorchester Public School board recently voted to bring back football after more than 20 DHS students committed to playing.  Due to small numbers in junior high, DHS football will return in the six-man form.  This version of the game is gaining popular support statewide, with more than 40 Nebraska high schools expected to be play six-man ball next season.  Now we receive word that DHS has its sub-district assignment for the 2018 and 2019 seasons.  Included in the new District D6-2 will be: Deshler, Dorchester, Lewiston, McCool Junction and Sterling.

'Pack the Gym' Jan. 9 for DHS Vs. Friend Games:  On Tuesday, Jan. 9, the Dorchester Longhorns basketball teams will host next-door rival Friend High School.  DHS is promoting that evening as "Pack the Gym" night.  The varsity girls will play at 6:00 p.m., while the varsity boys will start at 7:30 p.m.

School Website Gets Overhaul:  The website for Dorchester Public Schools has gotten a makeover.   Viewers may still access it at dorchesterschool.org.  The site even includes a string of the school's latest Twitter messages, so all parents and patrons can stay updated as breaking school news occurs.

    1. I would suggest mailing a donation to the school with a letter stating it is for the football program. Brent Zoubek is the current athletic director.
