At Deering High School, we believe in strong student voices and having multiple opportunities for leadership and inclusion in the broader school community. These are just some of the programs empowered students participate in.

Student Government

The goal of student government is to make a structure that helps promote a representative student voice that has the capability of taking actionable steps toward a strong positive Deering identity. It is run in the image of a representative government. Each Advisory has a representative that meets as a full student government at least once a week, and in class senates biweekly. The student government meets with administration once a month and discusses the needs, goals, and wishes of the student body!

Natural Helpers

Deering Natural Helpers is a group of students chosen by their peers for being good listeners and supports. They receive training on how to support other students. They are a wonderful resource when you just need someone to talk to. They are also aware of resources and are in touch with school staff to help with connection to resources.
