"DVHS is a results oriented school that prides itself on offering cost effective education programs serving 'at-risk' youth. After thirty-seven years committed to Philadelphia area youth, today DVHS boasts a 93% graduation rate and a plan to save the School District of Philadelphia 1.1 million….Mr. Shulick’s hard work in designing a special student management system geared solely to the needs of our youth, combined with a full array of educational tracks and options for students, is precisely the type of opportunity that our school district should be capitalizing on….It is with great pleasure that I support the program."
-- Honorable Chaka Fattah, Member of the United States Congress

"I was out to visit DVHS while officially observing and certifying a new teacher, David Murphy. I was very impressed with the school's operations and Matti's effective leadership. Comparing this school to the other schools in the area, this one seems to be the best for at risk students. I have visited all of them.   I've worked with at risk students for 34 years before retiring (Germantown High, West Phila High, Olney High, Audenried High)"
-- Barry Meinster, Ed.D.

"I have spoken at over 250 high schools, ranging from inner city schools in Manhattan, to Midwestern schools in Iowa. In my travels, I have spoken with well over 30,000 high school students. Though I should not show any partiality, I must say that your students are among the very best in many categories. They are attentive and courteous, ask good questions, and clearly realize the importance of education. You and your staff are doing a tremendous job educating and transitioning your students into the 'real world'."

"From a mom who did not know where to turn, thank you. You and your staff cared enough to go the extra step, and make a difference in a young person's life."
