After an increase of activities available to Dzantik’i Heeni Middle School Students in recent years, a statewide organization recognized the efforts of the school’s assistant principal.

The Alaska Association of Secondary School Principals (AASSP) recently selected DHMS Assistant Principal Kristy Germain as the Region V Assistant Principal of the Year. Specifically, the association honored Germain for her success in creating opportunities for her students.

In a release, DHMS Principal Molly Yerkes said Germain has a positive attitude and is very respectful to each of the 500 students she oversees. Yerkes also said there has been a dramatic increase in the number of learning activities offered for students and an increase in participation, and Germain serves as the activities and athletic director.
