Historical Fact:
Dieruff's mascot, the
Husky, was named Kiska in 1959 in order to honor the dog and ten men of the
American Naval Weather Detachment who were captured by the Japanese on Kiska
Island in 1942. Today, Kiska IV is eight years old and resides with retired
instructors from DHS. At the May 2005 Kiska Dance, students raised money in
order to care for and feed Kiska this year. Kiska makes appearances at every
important high school event or activity, and is much loved by Dieruff students,
past and present.
