The Block DC Award is the highest award a student may earn at Dry Creek. The Block DC is available to fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students, and is awarded at the end of each semester.

This award presents a worthy challenge and is attainable through hard work, dedication, and forethought. It will require most, if not all students, to work outside of their comfort zone and complete activities that they would not have likely attempted if it were not for the Block DC award. It recognizes students who exemplify the qualities that Dry Creek hopes to foster in all of its students, namely: 1) the desire for self-improvement; 2) dedication and commitment in reaching for goals; 3) concern for and service to others; and 4) the willingness to be a positive role model to others. Individuals earning this prestigious award will receive a Block DC plaque.
