We’re proud to recognize Austin Cohrs as Rotary Student of the Month!
Austin is a senior at Deer Park High School and is fluent in six instruments, all of which began with learning the recorder. He participates in jazz and concert band and is also enrolled in Running Start at Eastern Washington University. Austin continues to grow as a leader, setting a strong example by striving to be the best person he can be and helping make his school a better place. After High School, Austin hopes to be in a professional symphony, either playing, conducting, or possibly going into business. Congratulations, Austin, on your leadership, dedication, and achievements!

6-7 is a "real thing" elementary through high school! Staff, students, and the Elf had fun celebrating day 67.
Deer Park FFA also presented at Rotary and shared the many options and activities associated with FFA! Way to go, DPHS!
DPSD thanks the early risers from the transportation department for scouting the roads this morning & to the custodial, maintenance, and grounds team for ensuring our parking lots were cleared for staff and students!
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the incredible Sandy Zimmerman to the district today! From graduating from Selkirk to playing for the Zags, and making history by hitting the buzzer on American Ninja Warrior, Sandy shared her story of "Welfare to Warrior."
A National Teacher Hall of Fame inductee and author of a best-seller, "Get Out of the Car," Sandy reminds us all to DREAM BIG and TRY!
Her message to us today?
Start with belief—in yourself, or borrow it from others.
Keep the bar high and work hard every day to be the best.
Don’t blame, complain, or make excuses.
Listen to the empowering, positive voices.
Thank you, Sandy, for reminding us to keep the promises we make to ourselves and to never wait to be seen, valued, and heard.

Last Friday, our High School team placed 6th in the Unified Bowling event!
Students had an awesome time and gave it their all!
This year, Deer Park had 4 lanes instead of 2, so the event is growing, and we’re thrilled to be part of it. After bowling, the students headed to Selkirk’s Pizza to hang out and socialize, with lots of laughs and fun!

Kindness and doing the right thing are at the heart of everything Chris does. Outside of school, Chris channels his creativity through photography, drawing, and a love of music, capturing the beauty in the world around him.
Congratulations, Chris, on being a shining example of character and community spirit!
- the buses to be better protected from vandalism and theft (preserving our assets and employee safety)
- eliminate potholes, standing water, and ice (preserving our assets and employee safety)
- allow the mechanics to complete maintenance within the transportation facility (currently no bus lift, so some services need to be outsourced)
- close distance to schools for easier accessibility by the community and families
