The DHS Observer is the biweekly news publication for Dearborn High School in Dearborn, MI. The paper's Editor-in-Chief is Ronnie J. Hinrichs, and the Staff Advisor is Mr. David Atkins.

David Atkins


Mr. Atkins, the Observer Advisor, is in his second semester of working with the school newspaper.  He is fortunate in that although he has no background in journalism he has inherited fine students from the former Journalism teacher, Mr. Webb.  He is sure that once he has to rely on students he has trained, the program will fall apart.

In his spare time he enjoys scuba diving and posing for photographs with mannequins.  His twin sons keep him far too busy to actually supervise the publication in any serious capacity.
