Our Story

I know our Faculty Meetings on Thursday morning do not include the whole staff, so I again wanted to take the opportunity to share our thoughts behind the bookmarks that you received Thursday.

Five months ago, we had so many unknowns.  Keli and I had no idea how it would all come together.  New administration, new Core Team, new students, construction all over campus, and so many other items just to figure out.  Deep Creek has had a tremendous story and we just knew we were responsible for the next chapter.

We had three items that we wanted to be our focus:

When Keli and I reflected on these goals the one that stood out so far this year was Student Relationships.  Watching the love and effort all of you share with our Cubs is such a beautiful thing.  It makes us so proud to lead you and we can't thank you enough.

The thought of the bookmarks... we know Deep Creek has had a great story.  It's up to us to fill the rest of the pages and create our own story. Keli and I are so happy you all are part of Our Story.  Enjoy this last week of school, your Winter Break and thank you for all you do.

Happy Holidays,
James & Keli

MMM December 2 - December 7th

Good morning.  We hope you are reading this MMM refreshed from a terrific Thanksgiving Break with your families.  Hopefully all of you took a well deserved break, we definitely did.  Looking over the calendar we do have a busy week, but get to end it with fun as we kick off the holiday season with Thursday's Candy Cane Lane Night, our chorus singing at the Punta Gorda Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday Night and our staff Holiday Party on Saturday night.  Remember, all our invited.  It would be beneficial to car pool if possible as parking is limited.  We will be purchasing Baked Ziti and sign ups are in the staff lounge for sides.  We also will have some beverages, but bring any special items you prefer.

James' Address:  1189 Oxsalida Street  Port Charlotte, FL 33952

Friday, December 6th will kick off our 12 days of Christmas countdown for DCES.  We definitely have a lot of academic work to do in the next three weeks, but we can work hard and have fun too.  Please take a look at the calendar of events that is posted below.

Have a great week.
Keli & James
