AND THE WINNER IS... GRADE 7! 📢🎉
The battle for the Spirit Stick was fierce, but the 7th graders came out on top in our Cereal Drive, collecting 54 boxes! Together, Deep Creek Middle collected 125 boxes total to help our neighbors. ❤️

Ending the week on a patriotic high note! 🇺🇸✨
We wrapped up our Military Family Spirit Week in style today. Our Hornets showed up in Red, White, and Blue to celebrate the courage and commitment of our military community.
From wearing yellow, to meeting mentors, to today’s patriotic finale—this week has been a powerful reminder of how much we appreciate our service members and their families.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us turn our hallways into a celebration of service! Have a great weekend, Hornets! 🐝

We saw RED in the hallways today—in the best way possible! 🔴🇺🇸
Our Hornets showed up in red to demonstrate our unwavering support for our military families. But today, we didn’t just wear the colors; we connected with the community.
We hosted a special luncheon where active duty service members and veterans sat down with students for real conversations. It was a true mentorship session where students asked about:
✨ The reality of military life & joining up
✨ Career paths in the service
✨ What it really means to serve
Thank you to our guests for answering questions and mentoring the next generation. Seeing our school covered in red while these conversations happened was a powerful reminder of how strong this community is.
Last night was a truly special evening as we officially inducted our newest members into the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). ✨
These students have demonstrated excellence in Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Character, and Citizenship—the core pillars of NJHS. It was inspiring to celebrate their dedication alongside their proud families and our dedicated staff.
Congratulations to every inductee! We can't wait to see the positive impact you'll make on our school and community.

🌟 Happy Creek Day! 🌟
Once a week, we hit pause on our regular bells for something special... we call it Creek Day!
So, what is it? Creek Day is our all-school club period. Most of the student body breaks out to explore their passions, learn new skills, and connect with friends who share their interests. It’s a huge part of how we build community.
