Message from the Principal |

Dear DHS staff, students, and families,
Congratulations to the Class of 2022! This coming Monday marks their last day of classes at Deerfield High School. We are excited to celebrate them at upcoming events including Boat Party, Prom, Honors Night, and Graduation! (Please see the Parent/Guardian Organizations section for ways to support Prom After Party.)
In other good news, I am proud to share that Deerfield High School was awarded The IL ASCD Whole Child Award for the tenet of "Engaged." The ASCD Whole Child Award is an award designed to recognize schools that go above and beyond to educate the whole child. We at ILASCD have created an award at the state level to recognize schools that have developed a vision to encourage the growth of the whole child. The whole child award recognizes these schools for not only educating the whole child but for having had success in creating students who are knowledgeable, emotionally and physically healthy, engaged in an inclusive learning environment, and are prepared to become lifelong learners. This award recognizes those schools that have changed the focus from one of a narrow academic vision to one that promotes the development of the whole child; healthy, safe, engaged, supported and challenged. As an engaged school, DHS is recognized for offering a range of opportunities for students to contribute to and learn within the community at large, including service learning, internships, apprenticeships, and volunteer projects; as well as a range of options and choices for a wide array of extracurricular and co-curricular activities that reflect student interests, goals, and learning profiles. In particular, DHS was highlighted for the extraordinary student-led events, such as School Chest.
This award is truly a testament to the incredible students, staff, and families that come together to support our school and local community. Congratulations to all!
Sincerely,
Principal Kathryn Anderson
