WOW Week General Information

 

WOW (With Out Walls) Week is an important part of DHS. While we believe that what happens within the walls of DHS is some of the finest education in the world, we also believe that there are priceless service, cultural and skill trips outside the walls of DHS. WOW week is our time to truly experience international education, please join us!


TYPES OF TRIPS

 

Service

 

Students will…

 

  • Learn to value the luxuries that are sometimes taken for granted.
  • Open their eyes to the difficulties of those less fortunate; and learn how bringing food to the hungry,
    shelter to the homeless, or education to the uneducated can be extremely rewarding.
  • Obtain the required service experience that elite student organization, such as The National Honor
  • Society, look for in their very selective application process.
  • Enjoy the valuable selfless experience that Universities expect to see on applications.

 

We encourage every student to join at least one service trip during their years at DHS.
