Welcome to Mr. DeBolt's 8th Grade Language Arts class at Darnell-Cookman Middle-High School. This is my second year at Darnell-Cookman School of the Medical Arts, and I'm committed to ensuring that our class embraces the school's mission to prepare students to succeed in college. We will strive every day to hold to the highest standards as we work together to help each student reach his or her highest potential. Please know that I value communication - with both students and teachers - as a vital part of the learning process. If you ever need to get in touch with me, my information can be found under the "Contact" tab above.
