Students may apply for admission and if accepted, transfer to Middle College where they will have the opportunity to graduate from high school with two FREE years of transferable college credit or a career certification. All high school courses are taught at the honors level and college courses are taught by DTCC college instructors.

If you are interested in contributing, please use this Google Form to indicate the type of dish you will be preparing. For additional questions or more information about the event, please contact Mr. Schendt. If you have ideas about additional contributions or programming, we would love to hear it! This night is meant to be a reflection of our community and all that we have to offer.
