Exciting Events at Decatur Central High School this Weekend (Nov. 17-19)
Greetings DCHS Family!
We are very excited that this week has so many of our students involved in great opportunities such as our theatre students presenting Freaky Friday this Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well as our football team taking on Bloomington South in the 5A semi-state championship game! We hope you will join us in support of our very talented students!
With this excitement over these events comes a little challenge. Because it is opening night for Freaky Friday this Friday, and we are hosting the semi-state football game parking may offer some challenge. Please see below for a map and the plan for people to enter campus and park for each event.
Finally, we are so glad to serve your students. We are Decatur Central High School where we are committed to being better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today because we are HAWKS, and that's what HAWKS do!
Tom Wachnicki, Principal DCHS

Friday Parking
As noted above, Friday is opening night for our musical, Freaky Friday, and we host the semi-state football game.

We are asking that if you are coming to see the musical that you use the north entrances to campus off of 67 and High School Rd. If you are coming to the football game, please use the south entrances off of 67 and High School Rd. Parking for the musical will be in the bus lot on the north side of the building. Attendees will enter via Door 27. Parking for the football game will be on the south side of the building. Thank you for your help in making attendance and parking as easy as possible!
