Extracurricular Activites
We offer a number of exciting extracurricular activities at DCS! Here are just a few of them:
Athletics
Our robust athletics program is one of the best in the city of Detroit! From basketball, to football, to cheer, to dance, DCS is the school for students interested in playing sports.
In 2018-19, our football team went 8-2 and made it to the state playoffs. We also had one of our seniors make it to the Michigan high school all-star football game.
Our basketball team made it to the district playoffs, the team made it to the regional playoffs, and our cross-country team made it to state finals. And, our Cheer and Dance team is recognized as one of the best in our division.
Also, our gym is a sought-after facility in Brightmoor. Complete with a brand-new floor, sound system, and regulation-size court, local organizations love to use our gym for practice and games.
Woodworking & Carpentry
Our partnerships with the Sunbridge International Collaborative and the University of Michigan provide our students with a unique opportunity to build woodworking and carpentry skills.
Participants in this program learn to work with their hands, to build things from wood, to service bicycles. And, students exiting the program leave with marketable skills that can be transferred to trades programs and careers.
Plus, through this program, DCS students can apply for a variety of annual summer jobs!
There’s not another program like this anywhere else in Detroit!
