The DHS films "Becoming Charlie" and "Winnerman" will be screened at 7 p.m. in the Michael A. Guido Theater.
Dearborn High School students will debut two feature films today at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center. The films were developed in the DHS student video program under the direction of teacher Kurt Doelle. This year's films include Becoming Charlie, a drama based on the true story of a Dearborn High student (and WDHS alumni) who lost his parents, and had to fight to gain stability for himself and his sibling. Winnerman is a comedy that tackles the subject of bullying, where a high school football player risks his popularity to help a "nerdy" friend from bullies—a one-time job that turns him into an anti-bullying superhero. Emmanuela Jannaro, writer of Becoming Charlie said working on the film has been an empowering experience. "…

A Dearborn High student has been named a 2013 Scholar-Athlete, the Michigan High School Athletic Association announced Tuesday. DHS senior Lara Fawaz will receive a scholarship when she attends the University of Michigan next fall to study neuroscience.
