-Attention, all Blue Devils:  As a reminder for all events such as dances and athletic occasions, you are expected to always:

  *   Treat everyone with respect and expect the same from your friends
  *   Be a good sport.  Be gracious in victory and accept defeat with dignity.
  *   Do not engage in disrespectful conduct such as profanity, obscene remarks, trash-talking, taunting or any action demeaning others or the sport.
  *   Treat game officials and all school staff with respect.  Do not complain or argue about decisions or calls during a game.
  *   Student ID Cards must always be shown at games and dances and will be checked at the door.


Consequences of improper behavior will result in ID confiscation and warning on first offence, you will beasked to leave for a second offense during a dance/game and major infractions will result in being asked to leave immediately. Any failure to respond appropriately to an adult request may result in other school consequences such as suspension.
Let's show our Blue Devil Pride in our school and our community as well as to our rivals!    Let us Pursue Victory with Honor at Davis Senior High School!
