Nestled on twelve wooded acres, Deer Creek Intermediate School warmly welcomes all into our community. From the prairies surrounding our campus to the building itself, Deer Creek offers a positive and enriching learning environment that focuses on the whole child. We provide abundant resources, including low student-teacher ratios (24:1), one-on-one technology for students, and fine arts programs in art, chorus, and band. Our strong commitment to academic enrichment is further supported by our use of the nature center in our backyard, which fosters curiosity and exploration. We also partner with local organizations like LimbForge to offer authentic STEM learning opportunities.

At Deer Creek, we emphasize the development of character through our guiding principle, "Empower. Achieve. Lead.” This reflects our expectation that every student follows the MARINER WAY.  Our cooperative culture fosters problem-solving through effective communication between staff, students, and parents.

The staff at Deer Creek are dedicated lifelong learners who go above and beyond to create a safe, productive, and challenging environment for students in grades 4-8. They are child-centered, understanding the importance of meeting students where they are and guiding their growth both academically and personally. This is evident in their collaborative efforts and dedication to continually improving the intermediate school experience through creative and innovative approaches.
