------------------------------------
What did you accomplish in High School that you are most proud of?
I am most proud of my mom and I because we were able to show Deep Creek that pride really runs deep by becoming this year's SCA President and Teacher of year!
------------------------------------
What is the best class you took in high school and why?
Dual Enrollment College Composition 111&112 with Jessica Miller! She is one of the best teachers I have ever had because she has pushed our limits when it comes to writing. I have laughed the most this school year while in her class.

Honoring a local baseball legend! ⚾
Deep Creek High School dedicated its baseball field in memory of Wes "Bud" Swisher on May 13, 2025. For over 30 years, Coach Swisher taught English, P.E. and Driver's Ed and was the heart and soul of Deep Creek Baseball, achieving 34 winning seasons. 💜 He was also inducted into the Chesapeake Sports Club Hall of Fame and now his legacy lives on at his beloved field. Thank you to Coach Swisher's family, friends, former students, current baseball players, and amazing culinary arts students for making the celebration so special. #CPSCelebrates
Attention Hornets!
All student-athletes, listen up! This Wednesday, May 14th at 5:30 PM, Deep Creek High will be hosting our NCAA Eligibility Family Night in the auditorium.
We’ll have a guest speaker directly involved with NCAA eligibility sharing updates on rules, regulations, and the recruitment process. Plus, some of your very own coaches — Coach Twine, Coach Allen, Coach Kip, and Coach Howard — will be part of a panel, along with recent Deep Creek graduates who are now playing at the college level!
This is a great opportunity to get real advice, ask questions, and learn what it takes to play sports in college.
Don’t miss it — and bring your parents and teammates, too!
