For the past few weeks, our French students took learning beyond the classroom at the University of Louisville French Film Festival! Each week, students attended film screenings, engaged with professors and community members, and participated in thoughtful post-viewing discussions, all while experiencing authentic French language and culture.
This was a wonderful opportunity, and we are thankful to Matthieu Dalle for organizing such a fantastic event each year!
A proud moment for our Doss community! This past Friday, two of our incredible educators were recognized at the Educators of Color Awards.
Congratulations to Dr. Johana Gomez on her nomination for Assistant Principal of the Year. This nomination is a reflection of her leadership, passion, and the care she shows our students every day.
And a very special congratulations to Ms. Yuriany Beitia, who was named High School Teacher of the Year! Her commitment to making every student feel seen and valued truly sets her apart. This recognition is well deserved, and we are incredibly proud to have her representing Doss.
Moments like this remind us of the impact our educators make each day, pouring into students, building connections, and creating spaces where all students can thrive.

As always, there was a lot of learning happening in the Health Science Academy this past week!
Our juniors had a great time in the GI lab, exploring how the digestive system processes food and bringing their learning to life. Meanwhile, our seniors focused on real-world skills in infant care; practicing swaddling, burping, and feeding with care and confidence. And in the middle of it all, we even had an impromptu sewing lesson!
Shout out to Miss Sarah Pataluna for creating engaging, real-world learning experiences for our students every single day. Your dedication does not go unnoticed!
Experiences like these matter because they ensure all students have access to hands-on, meaningful learning that connects to real-life skills and future careers. This is how we continue to build classrooms where every student feels seen, supported, and prepared to succeed. This is what learning looks like, hands-on, inclusive, and empowering. So proud of our students and staff!
Doss Tennis spent a fun afternoon with PRP! We’re proud of this small team for their positive Dragon attitude and support for one another. Keep it up!

First day back after spring break and our Health Science students jumped right back in—hands-on and focused!
Walking into classrooms and seeing students actively engaged, practicing real-life skills, and working together was everything. This is what learning looks like when it’s meaningful.
Shout out to Ms. Robertson for leading such a strong, engaging lesson and creating these real-world learning opportunities for our students!
Proud of our students for coming back ready. Let’s keep this energy going all the way to the finish line! ❤️🩺
