About UsWhat is Key Club? Key Club is a service organization for high school students, which operates under school regulations and draws its membership from the student body. We are unlike any other organization in DHS. A local Kiwanis Club, composed of the leading business and professional people of our community, sponsors us. Key Club is neither limited to specific grade levels nor certain GPA's.
Our objective as a club is the development of initiative, leadership ability, and good citizenship practices among all students. This club functions not only on a local level, but on a state and international level. |
