Philosophy and Goals
-
The administration, faculty, and staff of Deerfield Beach High School believe that educating students is teaching students how to learn. In providing students with thinking and learning skills, we enable them to become productive, self-sufficient, and responsible citizens. Deerfield Beach High School is fortunate to have students from different ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. We believe that the composition of our student body provides an excellent resource to teach an appreciation for differences of people within a spirit of cooperation.
We believe that education must address the “whole person”, and that the social, intellectual, and physical needs can not be separated. This holistic approach to education results in an integrated curriculum rich in knowledge and experience.
