DPN presents grade-specific programming throughout the school year including nationally renowned speakers discussing a variety of topics. DPN is also responsible for the Prom After-Party, which is a fun, substance-free event fully funded by donations. Below you will find our schedule of Programming for the Year. This year we are very excited to partner with Districts 113, 112, & 109 to bring two authors to speak to our parenting communities. 

We hope you can join us on November 30th at Deerfield High School for a presentation sponsored by all three school districts, “How To Raise Successful Kids” by author Julie Lythcott-Haims.

PTO
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year. We are excited for a fantastic year ahead. Our first meeting will be on September 18th at 7pm in the CCRC, all are welcome to attend.

Currently we are preparing for our October 11th Bake Sale, November 1st Staff Appreciation event, and Grandparents & VIP Day in November, as well as raising funds for Senior Scholarships. One way that we accomplish this is through raising funds by families purchasing PTO memberships. A PTO membership helps families build connections with each other and our schools. Our hope is that each family with a student at DHS becomes a member of the DHS PTO so we can continue to enrich the lives of our DHS community. 
Your support is just as important this year as we find innovative ways to support our DHS students and staff. You can purchase your membership here. Through this link you also find a way to donate to the Scholarship Fund for graduating senior students.

DHS PTO relies on membership support in order to provide programming, sponsor events, and purchase educational items for DHS students and staff. Thanks to your membership support, the DHS PTO:

  • Funds senior student PTO scholarship(s)
  • Awards teacher and activities grants
  • Provides hospitality
  • Hosts Grandparent and VIP day
  • Sponsors Prom, After Party transportation & the Health Fair
  • Recognizes legacies and milestones 

The membership donation is $50 for the school year. Membership includes two smartphone directory apps. All DHS families are included in the directory.  


  • The PTO is also working on two other opportunities to support our students and staff. The PTO is collecting donations for scholarships for the Class of 2024. Scholarship donations can be made directly on the dhspto.org website under for sale - 2024 scholarship purchase. 

  • Deerfield Discount cards can be also purchased at the dhspto.org website. Funds raised from this support our teacher grants. Discount cards are on sale until September 7th and can be picked up at Open House. To purchase a discount card please go to dhspto.org under for sale - discount card. 

Our first Principal’s Coffee will be on Friday, October 20th at 9:30am in the Staff Cafeteria and our November PTO Meeting will be on Monday, November 13th, at 7pm in the CCRC. All are welcome to attend. 

Thank you for your support,
The Deerfield High School PTO
