Dickinson High School is an American high school located in Dickinson, North Dakota. It currently serves about 890 students and is a part of the Dickinson Public Schools system. The official school colors are orange and black and the athletic teams are known as the "The Midgets".
In 1994, Dickinson adopted the "block scheduling system", a system where students attend only 4 courses a day, each 1.5 hours long, enabling students to earn more class credits than other schools (which mandate 7 courses per day).
There has been a noteworthy degree of controversy surrounding Dickinson's mascot, The Midget. During the mid 1990s the school became concerned that their 80-year-old mascot was not very politically correct and communicated that they were considering a change. NBC's The Today Show even featured a piece on the Little People of America where the organization stated that they were not offended by it, influencing the school to keep their traditional mascot.
