Annual BBQ/Fundraiser Moved to Middle School for 2023
The DMHSAEA's annual BBQ/Fundraiser will be on Saturday, June 24, 2023 from 12 noon to 4 PM.
This year, construction on the grounds adjacent to the DMHS cafeteria requires that we move the event to the cafeteria and grounds at Janis E. Dismus Middle School (formerly Englewood Junior High School) just across the brook from DMHS).
As always, a DJ will entertain and the food is free! See you there!

DMHSAEA Extends its Services to our Middle School!
Recognizing that the roots of academic excellence in high school lie in middle school and earlier, the DMHSAEA now offers its grants to teachers and administrators at Janis E. Dismus Middle School. With the full support and active promotion by Principal Lamarr Thomas, we now offer our standard $2,000-maximum grants to JDMS teachers, along with our "We've Got Your Back" program to reimburse teachers for out-of-pocket classroom expenses not covered by the District.
And yes, we have funded our first JDMS grant! Health teacher Dr. Alison Morgan-Black will coordinate and teach a program called "Helping Youth Make Healthy Choices." The $1,100 from the DMHSAEA will allow her to purchase reusable curricular materials for a one-marking-period course that each student will take at some point in their three years at JDMS.

The DMHSAEA Had a Busy Pandemic
Pandemic or no pandemic, the Dwight Morrow High School Alumni Educational Alliance continues to support academic excellence at our school. In 2021 and 2022 we sponsored:
- A program to train interscholastic team coaches to teach life skills to student athletes.
- Virtual SAT/ACT preparation.
- Reimbursement to teachers for out-of-pocket classroom expenses. We call this our "We've Got Your Back" initiative.
- We renewed a successful program in chemistry enrichment via the nonprofit "Students2Science."
- A year-long program on careers via the nonprofit, "Be All You."
- Three performances by the New Jersey Symphony:
- A brass quintet and a woodwind quintet performing on campus
- The full orchestra at the State Theater in New Brunswick.
- A mentoring program via the nonprofit Bergen Volunteers (for 2023).
- A program to introduce students to STEM careers
- Chemistry supplies for the Science Club
- Diversity Day
- A program to guide students through the process of selecting and applying to colleges via the nonprofit Parent Matterz (for April-August 2023).
Since our grants program began in 2009, we have awarded 76 grants totaling $134,473. The total for 2021 was $25,500 and for 2022, $26,150.
