Durham High School -

Seniors! Tomorrow a representatiive from UC Santa Cruz will be here to give an application workshop. If you plan on applying to a UC make sure to attend.

Did you know parents have to fill out a financial aid application too?

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and CA Dream Act Application (CADAA) have a section that’s just for parents. Parents must fill out information on FAFSA or CADAA until their student is 24 years old or meets specific requirements.

Unless your student is 24 years old, married, has a child, is in the military, is in grad school, is orphaned (both birth parents deceased), was in foster care, was legally emancipated by a court, or was placed in legal guardianship by a court, they will have to provide parent information on your financial aid application.

You can apply for many programs with one application! Get started today at csac.ca.gov/apply

Here's the schedule for the upcoming season. Go Trojans

Our 25/26 Volleyball schedule is officially out, and we can’t wait to see our amazing team on the court. Best of luck and tons of fun during their summer practices. I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want to be anywhere else this summer than in the gym with temperatures over 100 degrees! 😂 Go Trojans!

Remember Durham Families, All students interested in participating in sports at DHS and DIS during the 2025-2026 school year must have a Physical Completed before participation.
