School Improvement
In the 2006-2007 school year, DCMST staff and teachers have been pushing students to use credible sources and use proper citation formats when writing research papers and conducting projects. The teachers have pushed to get students to understand and know the APA, MLA, and sometimes AMA formats for research papers/projects and other assignments. The teachers also do not allow students to use Wikipedia as a credible source of information at all.
Another improvement that is underway is a standardized lab report format for all DCMST classes that will be followed for all four years of the student's time at DCMST.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or improvement:
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“They act as if they supposed that to be very sanguine about the general improvement of mankind is a virtue that relieves them from taking trouble about any improvement in particular.”
—John Morley [1st Viscount Morley Of Blackburn] (1838–1923)
