Delta High School is a very mediocre high school, in my experience, this school mainly does events to get people to go to college to get out of this school.

I haven't minded this school, but I've had a lot of issues with other students harassing me and administration won't do much about it.

My experience at Delta High School was amazing. Although it went by fast, I have made a huge impact on my school and community by being involved with all the sports and clubs they offer. The classes are also a great environment to be in and the teachers are easy going and have formed great relationships with me. I would like to see more people (especially freshmen) to feel more connected at Delta High School.
