Welcome to Delta High School !

Delta High School is a community oriented, democratic school fostering choice, voice, and diversity of thought to develop engaged citizens and inspired leaders.

Delta is a democratic school governed by students, teachers, and parents working together. Advisory Council is made up of parents, teachers, and students representing their clumps. Advisory Council makes school-wide decisions including schedule changes, changes to the handbook, and budget use. The Delta community also makes decisions through All-School Meeting (during the school day), a once-weekly meeting of students and teachers to discuss and vote on relevant issues including school policies.

Delta is community-focused, so there is a half hour taken out of the school day for Democracy in Action. Democracy in Action includes All-School Meeting (ASM),Committees, Community Building, and Clump (a group of fifteen or so students with the same advisor that meets to discuss issues and form bonds). Students select classes in consultation with their Advising Team, which consists of the student, parents, and advisor. Advising Teams meet two times per year to discuss the student’s growth and experience at Delta.

Delta students can take classes at Delta & State High. Students can also complete independent contracts, which are classes outside of school to get school credit. Delta students are also required to complete 30 hours of community service per year and a graduation project. Most Delta students choose to continue their education at a 4-year college or university.

2025-26 Course Guide
Here you will find an example of our yearly class schedule. This is our current schedule. You will see that every day has 30 minutes of Democracy in Action (DiA) that students and staff participate in. There is a different activity every day. Having these 30 minutes carved out of each day helps build community and gives student and staff a chance to speak into their educational experiences in different ways. There are classes that are year round, daily, advanced options in an A/B schedule format as well as opportunity to take classes at State High. Faculty have the opportunity to change their class offerings every year based off of student feedback and growth in academic subject offerings.
