Magnet | Durham has a powerful Magnet Program    
   


Once weekly, the ancillary teachers cover lessons through the Leadership Curriculum, “Leaders for Character”, for each grade level, K-5.During the school day “TOP DOGS” (a program for fifth graders) are able to display leadership qualities by serving as part of our student council, being hall monitors, office helpers, teacher helpers, lunchroom aides, library helpers, peer readers and campus beautification monitors.
