Congratulations to all the Diamonds and their guests for a tremendous show last week! Our Finest Hour was the theme of the show and the dancers proved that to be true as they took the stage (many for the very last time) as Dickinson Diamonds. We wish all of our seniors best of luck in their future endeavors and hope they remember what a wonderful experience this has been. Special thanks to our awesome directors, Ms Traci Mills and Ms Kelsey Hardage and to our Diamond Booster Board for all their hard work! Thanks to our Board President Ms Shellie Vaughan who, once again, went over and beyond the call of duty to make this year's show so memorable.
