We are just two weeks away from the Green & Gold Night Open House at our Dighton Rehoboth Regional High School! Students and families in grades 7 & 8 should check today’s email from Superintendent Runey for more details. Also, community members and students considering transferring to DR are also welcomed! More details are linked here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eAoT2YeBzVhBFUPTfXxKM3aHCP6T9OdTBAhbNiLoqcI/edit?usp=sharing #WeAreDR
This post is about two of the amazing aspects of our high school: our Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs and giving spirit of our students. One of our seniors, Jack, wanted to make our new Superintendent, Bill Runey, feel welcomed, so he worked with the teachers in Carpentry and Advanced Manufacturing to create this beautifully framed (and autographed 😊) DR Falcons mirror.
Our CTE programs give our students the competitive advantage no matter whether they are bound for college, careers, or the military! Thank you to the CTE teachers, Mr. Gouveia, Mr. Arnold, and Mr. Calvin for giving Jack the supports to turn his kindness into a tangible sign that We Are DR!
Join us for the high school’s Green & Gold Night open house at 6pm on January 19 to see even more evidence of how great our high school is!
Grade 1 students braved the cold and had a great Turkey Trot. We even had Tom the Turkey.

District launches We Are DRiven to Serve Community Service Campaign
The Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District lives by the mantra that We Are DR and the Superintendent wants to take that mindset out into both DR communities. To accomplish this, he is launching the “We Are DRiven to Serve“ initiative where clubs, teams, and other student organizations will be recognized for their service to the residents of either Dighton or Rehoboth.
“These two towns have supported our students and staff financially for so many years that it is time for us to pay it forward and give back to our residents,” Superintendent Bill Runey stated. “Community service is a win/win situation. Our students will benefit just as much as the people who are the recipients of their service. The world needs more kindness, and it’s a great life lesson for students of any age.” Runey said that the service can take many forms. “Depending on the age group, there are many creative ways to serve those in need in our community. Elementary students might choose to make holiday cards for Dighton’s Council on Aging. Middle school students might arrange a food drive to benefit the Rehoboth Food Pantry. High school students might volunteer for a beautification project in town. A sports team might host a clinic for a youth league. The possibilities are endless, and the payoff is priceless.”
Throughout the year, the groups who demonstrate a high level of commitment to service will be recognized as the Community Service Champions and will be presented with the “DR 10 Pounds of Gold” championship (pictured).
Student organizations can complete the form linked below to be considered. There also must be an accompanying cover letter. A sample cover letter is linked in the application.
Community members seeking to receive service should contact Michele D. Blackburn, mdblackburn@drregional.org. Not all requests will be honored, but we will do our best.

Great day kicking off our outstanding Mentoring Program. This program is led by the district coordinators, Amanda Ferreira, Ann Siachos, Alaina St. Germain and Arlene Parella. They put so much time and effort to make sure today was successful. Also, thank you to all the mentors who came out to support their protégées and enjoy a delicious lunch catered by Whitsons. Thank you, team! The excitement in this room was palpable and We Are DR and we are ready for day 1.
