DPHS Celebrates a Building Project Milestone!

On Monday, March 2, an exciting milestone in the David Prouty High School construction project took place with a "topping off" ceremony. The last structural piece, a beam in the newly-constructed segment of the under-renovation A Wing, was placed high above what will be the library. A small gathering of student officers, district and school staff, and a wide array of building committee, local government, and community representatives looked on as this ceremony marked a new phase in the project, turning the corner and entering the homestretch as Spring and Summer sees the final exterior work and interior finishing really taking shape. The entire project is slated to be completed in August, with eyes on opening fully for school year 2026-2027.

After a welcome and a few words from Superintendent Haughey, Lauren Tutlis, President of the Class of 2026, reminisced about the long, arduous road she and many other students, community members, and school staff traveled to make a new school building a reality. Despite graduating this Spring and thus not getting to be a student in the fully-realized facility, Lauren graciously wished the students who will be here next year and in the years to come the very best of luck as they embark on their academic and extracurricular journeys in a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility.

David Prouty wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to construction crews / Fontaine Bros., project management / Colliers, and Jones Whitsett Architects for their incredible work in this project!

Congratulations to our February Panthers of the Month!

As part of the National Honor Society's Be the Change project, each month NHS recognizes two students with the Panthers of the Month award.

Panthers of the Month are nominated by the faculty for helping others, making more of an effort, and/or being role models for our school.

Support Means Everything!

Thank you to Uncle Sam's Pizza, for their unyielding support of our Athletic Booster through incredible donations this year!

Updates to the DPHS school-year school calendar!

• FOUR snow days (January 26, January 27,  February 23, and  February 24) plus the three remaining flood-related days in December have pushed DPHS's 180th Day of school to Wednesday, June 24th;

• Although DPHS missed five days in December due to the flood, Thursday, January 29, 2026 was originally slated to be a full professional development day for teachers and no school for students but became a HALF DAY OF SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS AT DAVID PROUTY HIGH SCHOOL ONLY and served as the 1st make-up day of 9 required so far;

• Friday, April 3, 2026 was originally slated to be a no-school day for students and faculty / staff in observance of Good Friday; April 3 will now be a FULL DAY OF SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF AT DAVID PROUTY HIGH SCHOOL ONLY and will serve as the 2nd make up day of 9 required;

• The remaining three missed days due to the flood that must be made up will be added to the end of the school as of now, along with the four snow days so far. If changes due to excessive snow days are necessary, updates will be shared as soon as they are known.

• Transportation will be provided as usual on all make up days.

• Please remember the 3 make-up flood days affect ONLY David Prouty High School and therefore make up days extend further into June for DPHS only.  Please see the other district's school's calendars (Knox Trail Middle, East Brookfield Elementary, and Wire Village) for specifics on THEIR last day!

SAVE THE DATE!

Inclement weather, snow / ice delays and cancellations will be sent by the district when decisions about school have been made and you will receive automated calls and texts. Please be sure your most updated contact information is on file with the schools. Posts will also be made on the District's Facebook page. Snow days will impact the last day of school, which will be noted in Important Dates & Reminders, below, as well as being listed in the Events section of the DPHS website.

WHEN THE DISTRICT HAS A DELAYED OPENING, THE SCHEDULE CHANGES SLIGHTLY. WATCH FOR THE LIVE FEED OF THE DAY'S BELL SCHEDULE WHEN DELAYS ARE CALLED!

Spring Sports

Health Tips

March is National Nutrition Month, a great time to think about how important good nutrition is for our health and learning. What we eat during the day affects energy, focus, and overall mood. Choosing balanced meals with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and protein helps to keep our bodies and minds fueled.
Skip drinks that are high in calories and sugar and replace them with water. A large Strawberry Dragonfruit Dunkin' refresher has 37 grams of sugar, which is roughly 9 teaspoons of sugar! This is higher than the recommended daily maximum intake of 25 grams of added sugar.
The choices we make about food and beverages can fuel and support our bodies and overall well-being.

Please call or email the nurse with any questions or concerns!

Registration for Spring sports for David Prouty and Knox Trail will be open on Family ID starting Monday, February 16. Any student-athletes interested must register and have an up-to-date physical exam on file with the building nurse.
