    Delleman Competes With Y Quad Cities Junior Rowing Team

    The Y Quad Cities Junior Rowing team recently competed at the US Rowing Youth National Rowing Championships.  This event lasted for three days on Lake Natoma in Rancho Cordova, California.  The Y Quad Cities Junior rowing team which competed in the quadruple sculls event included Central student Emily Delleman as well as other area students.  The team finished two full boat lengths ahead of the other teams.  The 7:19.3 time earned these remarkable athletes the gold metal in their event.  Congratulations!

    Central Construction Projects

    Dear Davenport Central Families,
    I wanted to provide a quick update on the status of the proposed auditorium and pool project for DCHS.  The school board remains committed to the project and will move to hire a new architect to assist the district in completing the construction plan. On July 7th, the school board will meet to discuss the issue and decide on a process to follow.  On July 8th the new process will begin and carefully move forward.  I will make every effort to keep all families informed with new information as it becomes available.

    Sincerely,

    Scott McKissick

    Principal
