Our new turf field and stadium logo project will soon become a reality!! Starting on
May 23rd, our stadium will be getting the long awaited turf field that was promised
by the county government when the stadium was first created. The projected date of
completion is August 5th. It was DHS’s responsibility to raise private funding to purchase the owl logo for the center of the field, and our generous community businesses and friends of DHS came to the rescue. We couldn’t be more thankful and
pleased!
The DHS current stadium serves not only our school and students, but the general
public as a walking and running track that is open to the public during non-school
hours from dawn to dusk. Our new turf field will be available to groups that secure
a permit for its use. With this in mind, it is expected that Dundalk-Eastfield teams
will apply to use the field, as well as other recreation groups and adult teams.
This new state-of-the-art turf will allow for constant use by teams and community
groups without the problems that a grass field presents. It will provide a safe, consistent surface and has a life expectancy of 10+ years. This is a group effort for
which the Dundalk community can take pride. Just think of the county and state
championships that could be hosted here!
To date, $19,600. has been raised for the Owl Logo Project. Any funds above the
cost of the logo will be used for additional stadium projects, such as an enhanced
scoreboard and a much needed ticket booth.
If you wish to be added to the growing list of stadium project donors listed below,
please contact Derek Maki, Athletic Director, 410-887-7288 or [email protected].

78 Members of the Class of 2017 Have Not Met SSL Requirement
Summertime is just around the corner and it is a good time
to finish up Students Service Learning hours. In fact, it is a
great time to remind students and parents of all grades that
the state of Maryland requires 75 hours of service learning
credit in order to receive a high school diploma. While
some of these hours can be earned in classes offered
through Baltimore County Public Schools, students will still need to earn
service learning hours on their own. Check third quarter report cards to
see if your child’s Student Service Learning hours have been met. As of
April 19, 2016, 78 members of the Class of 2017 have not met the state
SSL requirements. SSL forms will be available in the library and may be
turned in to Ms. Cline or Ms. Elliott in the library. Remember, hours need
to be earned with nonprofit organizations. If you have any question
regarding service learning, feel free to contact Pamela Cline, Service
Learning Coordinator, by email [email protected] or phone 410-887-7030.
