Welcome to Deer Creek Elementary! I’m honored to serve this community as campus principal and am truly excited about the 2019-2020 school year.

Our mission statement is: “Through positive relationships, we create a community where everyone is a learner who recognizes, respects, develops, and shares greatness within.” I look forward to celebrating your child’s #greatnesswithin in 2019-2020! I hope that you’ll follow us on Twitter (@DCEgreatnesswithin1)
