Our Dighton Middle School Community Service After-School Club is off to a wonderful start with its very first community service project!
On Thursday, members of the club visited Dighton Elementary School, where they spent time reading to younger students. It was a wonderful opportunity for our middle school students to share their love of reading, build connections, and make a positive impact within our school community.
We are so proud of our students for taking the initiative to give back, serve as positive role models, and demonstrate that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference!
A special thank you to Dighton Elementary School for welcoming our Falcons!
Once a Falcon, Always a Falcon! 🦅

Our first Falcon Cup of the 2026-2027 school year goes to the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Marching Band, its staff, and boosters!
When faced with an opportunity to make participation more accessible for a student, this group didn't accept a barrier. They worked together, found a solution, and made sure every student could participate and belong as an important part of the team.
Following our recent recognition as a Special Olympics Unified Champion District, this is another wonderful example of inclusion in action.
Thank you for showing us what it means to be one DR Falcon Family. Congratulations!
Together, #WeAreDR!

Dighton Middle School sixth graders recently put their ELA writing skills and social studies knowledge to work as they tackled an important question: Which turning point during the Paleolithic Era was most important in human history?
This essay served as the students’ beginning-of-the-year writing assessment, giving them an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to develop a strong argument using evidence and reasoning.
Today, students received their essays back, and we celebrated their hard work by presenting awards to students who demonstrated excellence in the following categories: Best Claim, Best Evidence, Best Reasoning, Best Conclusion, Best CUPS(Capitalization, Understanding, Punctuation, and Spelling), and Best Overall Score.
Pictured here are our award winners! 🎉
Way to go, sixth graders! Your hard work and thoughtful writing are something to be proud of! Great job! #WeAreDR #DT2030 #EIS #WeAreAllFalcons

What a proud moment for Dighton-Rehoboth!
On Friday, our District was officially recognized by Special Olympics Massachusetts as a Unified Champion District, celebrating our commitment to creating school communities where students of ALL abilities feel valued, connected, and included!
This recognition represents so much more than sports. It’s about friendships, teamwork, student leadership, and ensuring that every student knows they belong.
A special thank-you to Carol Jerauld, our Unified Programming Coordinator, whose passion and leadership have helped bring our districtwide vision to life. We are equally grateful to our Unified Liaisons, Coaches, staff, families, DR SEPAC, District Leadership Team, and School Committee for their ongoing commitment to this important work.
And, of course, the greatest credit belongs to our students, who show us every day what inclusion looks like in action!
From Inclusion to Belonging. That’s the journey we’re on, and this recognition is another exciting milestone!
🦅 Five schools. Two communities. One District. All Falcons.
Together, we are DR!

A Friendly Reminder, Tomorrow is Picture Day!!!
At the 2026 MassCUE Fall Conference, our Director of Technology, Lauren Harwood, and Superintendent Bill Runey presented on how DR is leveraging technology to strengthen communication, align instruction, streamline operations, and move our district forward.

8th graders at Dighton Middle School have been learning about the ecosystems and food webs. Yesterday, they participated in an owl pellet dissection lab. During the lab, students picked apart sterilized regurgitated masses of fur and bone to reconstruct prey skeletons and study an owl's diet. #WeAreDR #DT2030 #EIS #WeAreAllFalcons

Falcons Fueling Families is here. đź’šđź’›
Today, we unveiled a new food pantry created to support Dighton-Rehoboth families with respect, dignity, and care, because our schools are about more than educating students. They’re about supporting the communities we serve.
Superintendent Bill Runey shared that if we are serious about igniting curiosity, shaping the future, and empowering students, we also have to recognize that students do their best when they are also supported at home. A day without school should not have to be a day without food.
This vision became action today, thanks to an incredible group of community partners: Sterling Container Sales & Rentals, Whitsons Culinary Group, Hannaford, Blounts Fine Foods, and Signs by Tomorrow. A special connection makes this effort even more meaningful: Sterling Container Sales owner Lindsay Bates is a Dighton-Rehoboth graduate, bringing this gift back home to the community that helped shape her.
We’re grateful to our supporters, school leaders, and legislative officials who joined us for today’s ribbon cutting - and especially to Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, Michele Blackburn, for bringing all the pieces together.
We Are DR. And this is one more way we’re living that promise. 💚💛
To receive support from the Pantry or to donate, email Pantry@drregional.org.

Dighton Middle School sixth graders have been busy conducting labs, completing lab reports, and learning how to be scientists. Today, students were busy wrapping up their lab reports. During their lab, students were given a mixture of materials. They then had to separate the materials to determine their mass and density. #WeAreAllFalcons #WeAreDR #DT2030 #EIS
Yesterday, our DMS soccer team hosted their home opener. Despite a valiant effort, Dighton Middle School lost against a strong Freetown-Lakeville team. Wish us luck and come cheer us on as we face Rehoboth for a home game today. #WeAreAllFalcons #DT2030 #EIS #WeAreDR
Our Alumni Spotlight this month features Eliana Raposa, Dighton-Rehoboth Class of 2022, who recently earned her master’s degree in Statistics from UMass Amherst and landed her dream job as a Pro Player Analyst for the Kansas City Royals.
After D-R, Eliana attended St. Thomas Aquinas College, earning her B.S. in Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science and a minor in Economics. She graduated summa cum laude in just three years while also excelling as a collegiate softball player. She continued her education and softball career at UMass Amherst, where she earned her master’s degree.
Looking Back…
“The most impactful part of my time at Dighton-Rehoboth was Coach Madsen. She served as a role model and mentor that was a constant force of encouragement and wisdom. In terms of classes, D-R offered me the ability to take a rigorous course load, including enrolling in a virtual high school class, which through testing allowed me to enter college having already earned 33 credits, giving me the opportunity to graduate with my bachelors degree a year early.”
Advice to a D-R Student…
“My advice to current D-R students would be to take advantage of every opportunity you have and to get involved. It helps you to become more well-rounded and teaches you how to work and interact with a group of people that you may not have thought to before. You learn how to manage your time better, a skill that will be a great benefit in the future, and most importantly allows you to have fun and do something that you are interested in outside of academics.”
Eliana’s internships—including working in player development with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League—helped her discover her passion for working in sports and ultimately helped lead her to her dream career in Major League Baseball.

Today, we came together for our 2026 Districtwide Convocation, and the energy was high!
- The Marching Band and Color Guard students kicked us off in true Falcon fashion.
- We celebrated the strength of our unified, PreK–12+ community.
- Superintendent Bill Runey challenged us to embrace what makes us strong, rethink what may need to shift, and continue to ignite, empower, and shape a district where everyone belongs.
We’re energized, we’re united, and we’re ready to get to work. Let’s make it a great year!
