HAPPY NATIONAL CUSTODIAN DAY! An ENORMOUS round of applause is owed today and every day to all the custodians and maintenance crew who work tirelessly to keep our schools clean, safe, and primed for student success!

At the September 25 meeting, the Deer Park School Board approved resolutions asking our community to consider two funding measures in the February 13, 2024 election. We are asking voters to consider a Capital Projects Bond and a renewal of the Educational Programs and Operations Levy. Read about how these measures will support students and staff.
