DCGS Member Tapped as Junior Historian
Congratulations to Titus Ek, DCGS member and Denton High School sophomore, who was chosen to be a Denton County Junior Historian for 2026-27. Junior Historians work together to discuss and engage in local history in new and interesting
ways. They are exposed to professional museum practices, taking on the role of curator and historian through special projects. Students in the program develop leadership skills, give back to the community, meet new people, and engage in local history. Well done Titus!
November DCGS question of the month is: “What does an ancestor’s address tell you about them??” Submissions accepted through Oct 20th Submission guidelines
