The Dakota Freshman Center was a Great concept. It helps to transition the 9th. Graders into High School to prepare them for as Dakota calls it, "The Big House". Every staff member and every teacher that I encountered, has always been the utmost professional and helpful!! I look forward to having two more kids pass through this Wonderful part of the Dakota Community!! "Go Cougars!"
