Message from Principal Withee

Welcome to the online home of the Deerfield Community School, home of the Deerfield Dragons!

This website is designed to keep our current DCS families informed with essential updates; from contact information to calendars to services offered at DCS, you will find what you need right here. It's also a place for prospective families to get a glimpse into the vibrant spirit and educational excellence that define our school community.

As reflected in our mission below, we strive to inspire every student to think, learn, achieve, create, and care. Our dedicated staff puts in countless hours crafting engaging lessons and innovative experiences that foster critical thinking and a deeper appreciation of the world around them.

As principal, I’m proud to say that our administration and staff are deeply committed to creating a safe, welcoming environment where every child can thrive. Our curriculum, outlined further in the Academics section, offers flexible, student-centered instruction that encourages curiosity, creativity, and meaningful learning.

We are incredibly proud of our students and the growth we witness each year. Thank you for being part of the DCS learning community!

Sincerely,

Kristen Withee
