Wrestling Earns IHSA State Sportsmanship Award

Congrats to the Deerfield Wrestling Nation on their 3rd recognition of Sportsmanship at the State level! Teams must compete at the team state duals to qualify for this award. This is the team's 3rd Sportsmanship recognition (2015, 2017, and 2023). 

Check out the new banner when you join us this Winter for DHS Wrestling. (You'll notice the state changed the look of the banner, so it will be easy to spot.) 

Club Proposal Application

In our pursuit of enriching student engagement and nurturing a strong sense of belonging, we're starting a new initiative aimed at establishing more extracurricular clubs/activities that elevate the diverse passions and new ideas of our student body.

We extend a warm invitation to all enthusiastic students to inspire and guide their peers in either founding a new club or joining existing ones. Naturally, this endeavor requires the involvement of staff willing to champion the role of sponsors for these new clubs, or co-sponsors for those clubs that are already flourishing.

Application Process:

If students would like to create a new club based on an unfulfilled need at our school, students should review and complete the Club Proposal Form. Should any queries arise or if any assistance is needed with the application, please don't hesitate to reach out to Mr. Verisario, Student Activities Director.

You can find more details regarding this opportunity here.
