Most DHS students make healthy, drug-free choices.
In fact, 78% of District 113 teens choose not to drink alcohol and 83% don't use marijuana.
What is your teen's reason to avoid alcohol, marijuana and other drugs? Students in CTAD's youth group Delta surveyed over 500 classmates to find out what motivated them to make-drug free choices. Most students said they want to keep their body healthy and follow the law. Almost half of students cited their family's values as their motivator. Keep up the good work, parents!

This measure best captures students who use somewhat regularly, as opposed to just trying something once or twice. List of top 10 reasons shows percent who selected the option as a reason they choose NOT to drink alcohol or use marijuana.

The District 113 Education Foundation would like to thank our community for their continued support. Through the generosity of our local businesses, sponsors and parents, we raised over $17,000 in this year’s Virtual Benefit. This funding is essential for us to fulfill the grant requests from our invaluable teachers, contributing to the ongoing enhancement of DHS.
We are pleased to announce that in 2023/2024 the Foundation will provide over $30,000 in teacher grants to both Deerfield and Highland Park High Schools.
This year, the Signature Grant is a Driving Simulator at Deerfield High School. The Simulator will offer a safe and controlled environment for all students to experience realistic driving scenarios. Other grants for DHS include:
- Arts Alive
- ENVOLVE
- Gamma AI App for Social Studies
- Media Literacy
- School AI App for all DHS teachers and staff
Please click here for a detailed description of our grants. We also encourage parents to visit www.district113foundation.org to learn more about our foundation and all that it does for our high school students.
