DCMST is a member of the NCSSSMST, an alliance of specialized high schools in the United States whose focus is advanced preparatory studies in mathematics, science, and technology.

Through iLearn, DCMST teachers and other Dearborn Public Schools can give students easy online access to many things for their classes.

Common items posted on iLearn by DCMST teachers include weekly syllabi, rubrics, quizzes, tests, documents, school news, individual student grades, and links to helpful sites.

Many of the field trips taken at DCMST do not include all students, as some have a limited number of spaces that are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Many students have won recognition at SEFMD and a few have even made it to the International Science and Engineering Fair put on by the Intel Corporation.

There have been many teams from DCMST that have won recognition or made it to the finals of the fair where a website must be submitted on an invention dealing with science and technology.

Many other students have submitted essays, research papers, and more to scholarship competitions such as those held by Dupont, Raytheon, and other corporations and organizations.

These resignations usually come after the freshmen or sophomore year as students realize that he/she believes the program is too rigorous or that he/she does not want to go into a field involving math, science, and technology specifically.

There are monthly parent meetings held throughout the school year where many things are discussed from colleges and scholarships to event planning and fundraising ideas.

During the 2006–2007 school year, DCMST staff and teachers pushed students to use credible sources and proper citation formats when writing research papers.
