For the past few years, our National Honor Society Store has quietly provided essential hygiene items to students in grades 6-12 at Diagonal Community Schools. This resource ensures that any student who needs items such as shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste etc. can access them privately and without barriers.
We owe a huge thank you to the United Church of Diagonal for their incredible generosity in giving us a jumpstart on this school year. Their support has sustained the store until now, allowing us to focus on helping our students.
As we move forward, the National Honor Society is reaching out to our amazing community to help restock the store for the months ahead. To make it easy, we’ve set up an Amazon Store (https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/37S0TE7M1SU2W) , where you can purchase items that will be shipped directly to the school.
We are so grateful to be part of such a giving community, and we know that with your help, the NHS Store will continue to be a source of support for our students. Whether you choose to donate or share this effort with others, you’re making a real difference for the kids in our school.
Thank you for showing up for our students time and time again. Questions? Reach out to Mrs. Taylor Bentley or a National Honor Society member. ❤️

ATTENTION DHS ALUMNI:
We are working on a project to compile all activities that participated in a state competition (sports, music, robotics, archery, speech, etc.)
I have a list of most of the boys sports but the IGHSAU does not have a record of state participants. If you participated in state, please email lmcnutt@diagonalschools.org with the event, year and some type of proof such as a picture of a newspaper article, plaque or something similar.
The D Club is working to hang state banners in our gym to celebrate the history of Diagonal High School.
Please share with any DHS alumni.
Thank you!!!
