As we say goodbye to our teachers this afternoon, we are officially closing out an incredible school year at Dallas Center-Grimes! Here's a look at some of the memories we made during the final few days of school! See you all in August!

DCG sent six athletes to the 2026 State Special Olympics in Ames. We have so much to celebrate with this crew!
Vincent Grund placed 1st in the 100-meter wheelchair.
Kelsey Stover placed 1st in the softball throw.

One day. One ceremony. One diploma. A lifetime of memories. Here's a look at Graduation Day for the DCG High School Class of 2026! The video is narrated by our two graduation speakers, Leah Brauch and Cael Ramsey.
