I'm not a grammar expert, but I don't think it needs to be there.
You might want to see what others and Ms. Sue or writeacher have to say. I hope I helped!
in the following sentence, does the word "the" need to be there?
1. In 1931, DiMaggio quit high school in the tenth grade.
Thanks!!

Your sentence is correct either way. I personally prefer the in this construction.
Use of articles is often optional. In fact, the people in the UK don't use articles in a few constructions that are people in the US do.
