Congratulations to 20 Early Childhood Education students who earned their Child Development Associate credential!
At the Delaware Area Career Center, our mission is to empower students to explore their passions and build meaningful futures—and our 2025 Signing Days were a powerful celebration of that commitment.
CoSN today awarded DACC the Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) Mini Seal in the Business Practice. The CoSN TLE Seal is a national distinction awarded to school districts implementing rigorous privacy policies and practices to help protect student information.
Students from our Fire Service Training and Law Enforcement programs recently presented to the DACC Board of Education, showcasing how they work together to simulate real-life emergency scenarios.
After months of preparation, competition, and collaboration, our students represented DACC with skill, professionalism, and creativity, bringing home top honors on the national stage.
The DACC Completion Ceremony will take place on May 22nd at 7:00 p.m. at Delaware Hayes High School.
As with any outdoor event, we are monitoring the weather closely and have prepared contingency plans for inclement weather. We will send real-time updates regarding weather and event plans via phone call, text, and email. Please ensure your contact information is up to date and keep your phone nearby on the day of the ceremony. Here is a copy of the email sent on May 8th with more details.
The ceremony will also be live-streamed for those who wish to view it from home or share the experience with loved ones. You can access the live stream here

Students will spend two hours a day, two days a week, in multiple hospital departments, including nursing, respiratory therapy, radiology, and medical lab, to observe professionals in action and gain a deeper understanding of their roles.
Applicants must be rising senior high school students and at least 16 years old.
Applicants should fill out the application form and expect to hear back from the Academic Partnerships team in early June 2025. The application deadline is Friday, May 23, 2025. For more information, see the OhioHealth MedExplore flyer here.

We would like to remind you that fees for the 2024-2025 school year are now due. You can check your fee balances on PowerSchool. Additionally, charges have been applied to the accounts of students who have received a new Chromebook. For more information, visit the fees webpage or reach out to Lilian Robinson at 740-203-2230 if you have any questions.
At the Delaware Area Career Center, we prioritize the well-being and academic success of our students. If a student feels unwell after they have already arrived on campus, we encourage them to visit the clinic, where our healthcare professional will provide care and support. In the event that a student needs to go home, we will personally contact a parent or guardian to arrange this. The student will then be able to leave directly from the clinic as soon as their ride arrives, streamlining the process for everyone.
We kindly ask that students refrain from directly contacting parents to pick them up during school hours. This approach ensures minimal disruption to classes and allows our teachers to maintain an effective learning environment. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this collaborative effort to support our students' health and education.
Regardless of the first day of school in your home district, transportation will be running from the home schools to DACC beginning August 14th.
If you know in advance that your child will be absent or tardy, fill out the Absence Form found on our website or the homepage of the DACC app.
See our Attendance FAQ for more information as well as calendars to all of our home schools and contact information for home school transportation departments.
