Count Day is on Wednesday, October 2nd!


Last night, a car struck a utility pole and resulted in power outages near and around the high school. We have been informed all power has been restored. However, it has also caused our phone system to go down. We are working to resolve this issue, but we may not be able to call out or receive phone calls to our buildings and at the bus garage today. We will continue to keep you updated and let you know when our phone system has been fixed.

Phone Update: Phone lines have been successfully restored across all buildings in our district. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!


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.


Bus #16 is running 25 minutes behind schedule this morning. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

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!!!


Never Forget.


Thank you!




We hope that everyone has had a great first week of school. Here are a few reminders, and we hope that you enjoy your long weekend. Welcome Back!
