Meanwhile DCHS has partnered with the Niswonger Foundation to offer free AP (Advanced Placement) courses. These are very rigorous college level courses that are taken online. In order to receive college credit, students must score a 3 or higher on the AP exam at the end of the course. Currently one student, Kora Kilgore has taken an AP exam and earned college credit for AP English Language.

DCHS is currently offering 4 statewide dual credit courses: American History, Plant Science, Introduction to Education, and Criminal Justice. If students pass the challenge exam at the end of these courses, they will receive college credit. The following students passed this exam last year: Tiana Clark and Malcom Gora for American History, and Kenlee Taylor for Education.

The CTE (career and technical education) courses train students for skills-based certifications such as the OSHA 10, ServSafe, and CNA certifications. DCHS currently has 272 students who have received their OSHA 10 certification: Agee,Avery Agee,Cali Agee,Stetson Aldino,Hannah Allen,Elijah Alvarez,Julian Anderson,Brookelynn Anderson,Domonick Anderson,Emily Anderson,Macy Aranda,Axel Ashford,Joe Atnip,Amelia Atnip,Carson Bailey,Cameron Bain,Nate Barber,Jaden Barber,Kelsie Bare,Jamison Barnes, an Beard,Kiley Belcher,Tyler Beneke,Ally Beshearse,Carsyn Birmingham,Zackary Blackwell,Jordan Blair,Taven Blair,William Boyd,Graceson Branin,Cam Brindley,MacKenzie Brown,Deonna Bryant,Turner Bullard,Jay Burdge,James Caldwell,Gracie Caldwell,Makaligha Cantrell,Ansley Cantrell,Aveya Cantrell,Lily Cantrell,Sayla Cantrell,William Carrillo,Jazmin Cathey,Dylan Cervantes,Hector Chalfant,Aviannca Chapman,Whitleigh Chastain,Carmine Chavez,Mykaela Chivers,Yvette Clark,Tiana Clavel,Fernando Clay,Alexis Cline,Ciara Close,Conner Collins,Audrey Dare Cripps,Zoe Crook,Caroline Cross,Abby Cuevas,Adreana Dakas,Andrew Davenport,Angelina Davenport,Olivia Dies,Chloe Dodson,Hope Driver,Milas Eastes,Rebecca Edwards,Ronnie Emberton,Joshua Emme,Greyson Epstein,Natalia Estes,Austin Farler,Aniston Farmer Connor Farris,Makyra Fletcher,Briana Fountain, Mersadies Frazier,James Fuller,Ally Fuson,Seth Gammons,Kyra Gandy,Micah Garcia, Casandra Garcia, Yarumi Garner, Eden Gassaway, Katherine Gilpin, Alyssa Gingerich,Rebecca Gipson,Kianna Godinez,Jannifer Goff,Teshia Goff,Tonya Goodwin Allie Gottlied,Aaron Gottlied,Nolan Granados,Camila Greathouse,Emily Green,Devin Griffith,Aly Griffith,Cadee Guinn,Zoe Gutierrez,Michael Hale,Bradley Hale,Kathryn Hale,Zoi Hall,Nathan Hancock,Emma Hardrick,Zoe Haugh,Alexis Hawkins,Hunter Hawkins,Lexi Hendrixson,Ella Hendrixson,Izzy Hernandez,Alexa Hernandez,Suri Hernandez,Suri Hicks,Annyiah Iervolino,John Jenkins,Makinzy Johnson,Chandler Johnson,Emma Johnson,Madelyn Keith,Hannah Keith,Johnathan Kirby,Dallas Knauer,Chayla Knowles,Brayden Knowles,Olivia Kyle,Addison Lassiter,Emileigh Lassiter,Macey Lawson,Abigail Lawson,Caleb Lawson,Chloe Lawson,Jonathan Lester,Jayde Lockwood,Chevelle Lohorn,Hannah Love,Cooper Lozano,Yasmin Lubig,Adriana Mabe,Jade Maddox,Jada Martin,Emma Martin,Kiley Martin,Madeline Martin,Madison Martin,Phoebe Martinez,Ninfa Mathis,Jackson McCrary,Serenity Mcminn,Averie Merriman,Hailee Miller,Aleaha Miller,McKenna Miller,Ryder Miller,Steven Milligan,Keara Mitchell,Evelyn Moore,Sadie Moore,Sara Mosley,Marvin Moss,Ellie Mullican,Hunter Mullins,Elijah Murphy,Addison Murphy,Briahna Murphy,Haley Musick,Josh Myers,Justin Nickell,Jayden Nokes,Amy O’Connell,Faithann Oakley,Kristen Odom,Jakayta Oiler,McKenzie Oliver,Paul Ortiz,Melanie Overstreet,Allie Overstreet,Kayleigh Owen,Haylea Pack,Austin Pack,Ella Paladino,Connor Panker,Jaxson Parker,Jordan Patterson,Katie Patterson,Megyn Patterson,Taylor Pedigo,Maddie Pek,Mykola Pelham,Bryna PerezTorres,Lucia Perez,Aaron Phan,Khanh Phillips,Mylie Polk,Sydney Portillo,Joyce Poss,Alison Prichard,Evan Quick,Jaiden Rackley,Bella Ramirez,Bryan Ramirez,Kevin Ramos,Elishah Randolph,Gracie Redmon,Hailey Redmon,Hannah Rico,Karol Rigsby,Laurie Roberts,Brandelyn Roberts,Chelsea Robinson,Emily Robinson,Zeva Roblero,Genesis Rose Maressa Russell,Melissa Sanchez,Elvia Savage,Kylee Savage,Raven Savage,Skylar Scales,Makayla Schiesser,Passion Sebastian,Julio Shehane,Brayden Shehane,Lauren Smith,Dixie Smith,Jarrod Snipes,Owen Soto,Jennie Speaks,Landon Spears,Kaleb Sprague,Braden Starkey,Logan Summers,Adison Summers,Allayna Summers,Brayden Summers,Kaity Sweatt,Brooklynn Taylor,Aiden Terry,Kilah Thompson,Aiden Tipton,Caleb Tittle,Anthony Tobitt, Caroline Tramel, Andrew Trapp, Briz Trapp, Hannah Trapp, Holden Trejo, Sharon Turbeville,Jordyn Turner,Elaina Vanatta,Levi Vantrease,Jackson VanVranken,Chloe VanVranken,Ella Vaughn,Chase Vaughn,Ellie Wallace,Liam Washer,Zayleigh Wheeler,Robert White,Crissy Wildes,Kaleb Wilkey,Brylie Williams,Katelyn Williams,Reese Winchester,Makaylee Wood,Aniston Wright,Jenna Young,Emily Zapien,Valeria.
