DWIGHT MORROW HIGH SCHOOL
ALUMNI EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE

​Englewood, NJ

Our Mission

The mission of the DMHSAEA is to support academic excellence at Dwight Morrow High School and Janis E. Dismus Middle School.

We accomplish this by funding initiatives for new or expanded academic activities and facilities submitted by teachers, administrators and community groups; by supporting other educational activities; and by strengthening alumni ties to DMHS. 

​
