The DCHS choir traveled to Italy over spring break where they had the opportunity to tour the Sistine Chapel, Tapestry Gallery, Raphael Rooms, Vatican Museums and sites from Ancient Rome. The choir also sang at all four major basilicas in Rome and finished the week in Assisi, singing at St. Maria degli Angeli and touring the Basilica at St. Francis. Our choir last traveled to Rome in April 2005 where they became the first American choir to sing for the newly installed Pope Benedict XVI.
DCHS students spent spring break in Goiania, Brazil, serving the children of Terra Livre, a nonprofit organization which provides education and development opportunities to vulnerable communities. The majority of their time was spent educating and playing with the 95 children at the Terra Livre Center but they also enjoyed staying with host families and the opportunity to experience the culture.
