Giving back to support DHS Student-Athletes! |

The Booster Club is dedicated to supporting our student-athletes, coaches and teams by funding items that are outside of the district’s budget. To do so, we count on membership as the largest and most important fundraiser. On November 7th, the Booster Club approved $48,125 in funding requests on behalf of DHS Athletics and coaches. This was a historic evening as this was the largest funding request on record by the Booster Club. In addition, The Adams Field Scoreboard Truss was installed a few weeks ago which was fully funded and paid for by the Booster Club. Below are the 11 funding request items approved:
Total Funding Amount
1. Girls Cross Country/Track Tent
2. Boys and Girls Track: Shot put area/toe boards (6) and rings (2)
3. Boys and Girls Tennis (4) Tennis Picnic Tables
4. Portable Wrestling Scale (Boys)
5. Girls Gymnastics (25) Bags
6. Deerfield Sports Information (DSI) Software
7. Baseball (Boys) and Softball (Girls) Portable Batting Cage
8. Warrior Dance Team: 2 Speakers for JV & Varsity (and Music)
9. Boys Cross Country Shirts
10. Athletics Hall of Fame entrance interior artwork
11. Girls Field Hockey Camera
We hope you will consider joining today so you can enjoy your membership benefits throughout the school year. There are many membership levels to choose from with options to directly support your favorite team. And don’t forget, the Family Athletic Pass gets you and your immediate family into all regular season home girls & boys basketball games and wrestling matches for FREE.

It's the season of friendship and celebrations. And while alcohol is often associated with holiday meals and New Year's Eve, there are ways to make it festive for those who can't or choose not to drink alcohol. This includes our students, as well as people who are pregnant, take certain medications, are driving or in recovery. Check out CTAD's December newsletter for festive, fun drink (non-alcoholic) drink ideas as well as ways to support and guide your teen if their friend uses drugs or drinks alcohol.
- Hot chocolate charcuterie board and other festive, fun drinks
- #1 Reason DHS & HPHS students choose to be drug-free
- What to say and do when your teen's friend drinks or uses drugs
