DPS posted a message from Macy Hudson, Miss Ohio USA 2024, on social media.

It is on both their Facebook and Instagram accounts.

The video was recorded in front of the Stivers Schools for the Arts where she graduated.

“As you get ready for another school year, remember to keep going even it gets tough,” said Hudson. “I believe in you, your teachers believe you, and most importantly, believe in yourself. Have a fantastic school year, and remember, we are DPS.”
