We were received with a friendly French welcome by the students, faculty, administration, and community of the Lycée de l'Authie in Doullens, France.  18 DCHS students and 3 faculty members attended classes in Doullens, enjoyed French school cafeteria food, lived with host families of the French students who visited Deer Creek last year, toured the Cathedral in Amiens, spent 2 days discovering WWII D-Day history in Normandy, lived daily life in France, and ate so much amazing French food!

He is kind, informative, and extremely flexible in the student-teacher process. I have learned so much from him that I will take with me for the rest of my career. He treats me like an equal and makes me feel more than welcome as a collaborator in his classroom. I think Mr. Turner deserves a thousand awards for his work with me AND his work with his students.”
