Welcome DCIS Phoenix,

Congrats to the girls soccer for a good season and working so hard

We did not receive enough registrations for either boys or girls flag football so we unfortunately will not be having teams. If your student is still interested in playing we are able to connect them to neighboring middle schools.

The next season after this will be Girls and Boys volleyball. That begins in January and registrations will open in December, I will be sending out more info as those dates approach

If you have any questions or concerns,  please feel free to reach out to Ang Ocon our Athletic Director, at 720-423-9013 or the main office 720-423-9000
