Along with their DCMS teachers, these students traveled around the United States
in January to tour and interview at eight potential schools.
“These students have worked hard and undoubtedly deserve this good fortune at
continuing their education at top boarding schools in the U.S.,” said Jennifer
Bateman, Principal at Deep Creek Middle School. “I hope that they take full
advantage of all the resources available at these schools and use this
opportunity to open more doors in the future both here at home and abroad. These
students have truly demonstrated that they are the future leaders of The
Bahamas.”
Chanel Williams will be attending The Lawrenceville School
(http://www.lawrenceville.org/) in New Jersey and hopes to join the swim team.
Travis Clarke has been accepted into a specialized program at Trinity Pawling
(http://www.trinitypawling.org/) in New York. Alexander Cates will be enrolling
at Lawrence Academy (http://www.lacademy.edu/) in Massachusetts. Other
graduating DCMS students will be heading to Preston H. Albury High School and
Central Eleuthera High School. In the past five years, DCMS has secured over
$1,000,000 worth of scholarship for seven students who have attended boarding
schools in the U.S.
