In every town, theirs always something special about it that makes it more then just a town to the people who live there. Its their home. A place they are proud of. And that's what Deer Park is.

1. Homecoming is a TOWN event.
Everyone of all ages from Deer Park always comes around for homecoming! It's an all day event. It starts off with the homecoming parade, that's when everyone gets to see the high school's freshman, sophomore, junior and senior floats that they made from the students of each class. Everyone meets up at the high school and they announce homecoming king and queen. Then it's the homecoming football game! This day is filled with excitement for everyone.

3. Everyone knows Mr. Cummings and he was better than a principal.
He may have just been a principal for some, but to most of us he is a real person you could have a conversation with about anything, and he always goes above and beyond to help his students with anything they need. No one can control DPHS the way he did.
