Safety Campaign Goal Reached and Door Devices Installed!

The Deer Creek Schools Foundation is proud to share that we have raised all funds needed to purchase and install door safety devices for all Deer Creek Public Schools. This campaign funded the purchase of approximately 850 devices, which were recently installed, further strengthening the district's commitment to creating a safe learning environment for all students and staff.

The safety devices are an example of the Foundation partnering with the school district to meet critical needs.  The Deer Creek Schools Foundation, with the help of generous donors, has made it possible for every school site within the district to be equipped with state-of-the-art safety tools that will help ensure quick, effective responses in the event of an emergency.

”This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible dedication of our parents, local businesses, and community partners, such as Casey’s who granted us $45,000 and stepped up to ensure that Deer Creek students and staff have the safest learning environment possible,” said Alex Looper, Executive Director of the Deer Creek Schools Foundation. “Your contributions have made a lasting impact, reinforcing our shared commitment to the well-being of our schools. On behalf of the Deer Creek Schools Foundation, thank you for believing in this mission and making it a reality. Together, we are stronger, safer, and more prepared for the future.

"Safety is a fundamental aspect of our school environment," said Dr. Jason Perez, Superintendent of Deer Creek Schools. "These devices further elevate the safeguards already in place within our schools and will enhance our ability to respond swiftly to any emergency situation. Keeping our students, teachers, and staff safe is not just a priority; it's a responsibility we take seriously every day.  We are deeply grateful to the Deer Creek Schools Foundation for their commitment to our students and staff.”
