• Dear Golden Eagle Friends and Families,


    I hope this letter finds you all enjoying your time off with your Eagles at home.
    The start of the new school year is quickly approaching and I wanted to make
    sure to take some time to welcome you all back to The Eagle’s Nest!


    Our Golden Eagles will come back to campus on Wednesday, August 6th, 2025.
    That is a late start day, so students will start school at 10:20am! Our bell
    schedule will remain the same with school starting at 8:45am and ending at
    3:40pm. On Wednesdays, school will start at 10:20am and end at 3:40pm. Any
    of this information can be found on our school website
    (https://www.psusd.us/dhshs), Instagram page (dhshs_eagles), and our
    Facebook page (Desert Hot Springs High School). For the most up-to-date
    Information, please join our social media pages!


    We are coming off a strong year with many successes! Here are a few highlights of 2024/2025:

    - We have increased the amount of our clubs/activities!
    - We added new lighting to all our athletic fields!
    - We got a new track!
    - Our Barbering Program wrapped up its first year!
    - We ended the year with FOUR LEAGUE TITLES!  (Girls Soccer, Boys Basketball, Boys Track, Girls Track!)

    These are only a few of the many successes we had here at Eagle's Nest!
    We can't wait to see what this year brings!

    All parents with students attending our school this year must re-validate their
    information online using ParentVUE, including our incoming 9th graders. The
    validation process is available only online this year. If you need help with your
    ParentVue account or additional in-person support, we can assist you M-F, 8am
    - 3pm, or call 760-288-7000.

    SENIORS, just a reminder that the following items will be graduation
    requirements, so start thinking about them now! Once we come back our
    counseling and support staff will be ready to help you with all of them:
    Completion of FAFSA, Scholarship Packet (includes letters of recommendation,
    resume, your letter of interest), you will be required to apply to one (1)
    college/university, and you will need to sit down with either admin or a counselor
    to tell us what your plan is after high school. It may not be college, but we want
    to know what your plan is so we can say your name at graduation and know that
    you are set up for success once you walk across that stage.

    In order to help all our Eagles be successful this year, each class will have their
    own administrator to provide them a go-to person should they need anything:

    Freshmen/9th graders- Mr. Hendry
    Sophomores/10th graders- Dr. Hagar
    Juniors/11th graders- Mr. Grein
    Seniors/12th graders- Ms. Johnson

    I know that was a lot of information, but I can’t begin to tell you how excited we all
    are here to start the year off fresh and welcome our new Golden Eagles on our
    campus as they become part of our DHSHS family. Our office is here to assist
    you and you may also email me at otinoco@psusd.us for any general questions
    you may have.

    Welcome to The Eagle’s Nest and we will continue to work together to remind
    everyone in the valley how amazing our Golden Eagles truly are!

    Proud to be a Golden Eagle,

    Mr. Tinoco
