Desert Canyon Middle School SUSD

🎉 Last day of school vibes at DCMS! 🎉
From first-period laughs to hallway high-fives, our students and staff poured their hearts into this video to share what they love most about our school. 💙 Watch this feel-good compilation and celebrate the moments that make DCMS special — the friendships, the teachers who care, and the memories we’ll carry forward.

🎓Tomorrow is the big day! We can’t wait for 8th Grade Promotion - we are so very proud of our students! 🥲 Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at today’s practice run!

🎉 Meet Itay & Ellie on our school TV show, "Between Two Mountain Lions."— Ellie and Itay are two of our many Student Athletes who were named Athletes of the Week! The show is a collaboration between Student Government, Yearbook, and Video Production, where two Mountain Lions (students or teachers and mascots) have an engaging conversation about school happenings, celebrations, and more. Enjoy this sneak peek. Watch the full interview on the "Our News" section of the DCMS website so we can all celebrate our Student Athletes! 🐾📺

Want to know why PE and sports are essential in middle school? 🏫🏀 This National Physical Education & Sport Week, we’re spotlighting Coach Johnson — our amazing PE teacher at DCMS — to hear how movement builds fitness, teamwork, confidence, and life skills. 💪🤝
What benefits of PE have you seen in your students? Start a dinner conversation with your student about why they love their PE Elective class or why they love being a Student Athlete on one of our 11 Organized Sports Teams here at DCMS. ⚽️🏀🏈⚾️ Sports and PE make a positive impact in Middle School experiences.
