Principal Falkner will share valuable insights and strategies to help our high school students strike a healthy balance between productive activities, personal growth, and relaxation during the summer break.

Graduation information

We urge our senior Wildcats and their parents to check out the 2024 Graduation information page on the DVHS website. This is where you’ll find details regarding graduation and end-of-year senior events, including the Senior Memory Walk, a special time for our graduates to visit the SRVUSD elementary school they attended. Cap & gown orders will be distributed by Jostens during brunch & lunch on Tuesday, May 21.

In order to maintain access to all the work students created at school, they must download and/or transfer any data they wish to keep to a personal account. This must be done before June 5th, which is the last day of school to ensure they will continue to have access to their files and projects after they leave. On the day after Graduation, or otherwise exiting our District, students will no longer have access to these files, including email, Google Drive, Adobe, and Microsoft online projects and files. Please click here to review the tools available to students to assist with migrating their data they wish to keep after they leave.

DVHS Athletic Booster

On behalf of the Dougherty Valley High School Athletic Boosters, we would like to thank all of you who supported DVHS Athletics by purchasing Athletic Booster memberships and supported our Annual Crab Feed. As a result of the generosity and efforts of our DVHS parents, teachers, coaches and school administration, DVHS has found a lot of success and growth in our athletic programs and is able to support them. DVHS Athletic Boosters continues to pay for our Athletic Trainer, award Coaches Grants and scholarships to our Senior Athletes. 

Thank you to all of our parents who donated to your athlete’s team(s). With your team donations, some teams were able to make their budgets and have successful seasons. Unfortunately, not every team met their donation expectations. If you didn’t get a chance to donate or would like to make another donation, you can still do that by clicking here.

Congratulations to all our athletes for their grit, determination, and discipline throughout their seasons. Way to go! We want to thank our parent community for driving our athletes, showing up to volunteer at snack bars, organizing banquets and moreover cheering on our athletes! It takes a community to support 1300 athletes. We take pride in our DVHS community and look forward to continuing to support our DVHS Wildcats! 

Sincerely, 

2023-24 DVHS Athletic Boosters

Class of '25 senior portraits - register now for portrait session access

Senior portraits are taken by Studio One Photography in their Dublin studio located at 6515 Sierra Lane. They will begin taking requests on June 3 for studio appointments starting mid-June and running throughout much of the summer. Their phone number is 925-361-0430. Some fall appointments will be available, but for those who wait until the fall to set up appointments, options for dates and times will be limited.

Studio One Photography helps you navigate the process by setting up an electronic portal for seniors and their families. The portal helps you with everything from appointments to reviewing and selecting the portrait proofs when they are ready. In order to respect the privacy of all families, SRVUSD does not provide contact information to Studio One Photography, so they need your information. The easiest way for this to happen is for you to take a minute or two right now and complete the form by clicking on the link below. If you do not complete this form by May 20, you will have to spend time on the phone or in person at the studio in Dublin for them to set up your account and electronic portal.
