This weekend is the opening weekend for our fall play! We hope to see you there! Tickets are cash only!



Tomorrow, September 17, is Constitution Day! All of our buildings will participate in a range of activities throughout the day to honor the signing of the United States Constitution in 1787.


Attention, Chieftain Fans! A few reminders of our Rules and Regulations at Chris Taylor Alumni Field: no backpacks, no outside food, no outside drinks, and all elementary and DMS students MUST be accompanied by an adult. We will be offering $1 Student Tickets to ALL Dowagiac students. Student tickets must be purchased at their school during school hours. If they are not purchased during school hours, tickets at the gate will be full price. During the 3rd quarter we will be shutting down the ticket booths and not allowing re-entry into the game. Let’s Go Chieftains!!!

Thank you!


Never Forget.
