All students are to report to the band room by 8:30 am on Saturday

We are still in need of volunteers for our Deptford Day Fundraising Booth. The booth will run from noon until 7:00 pm. We are in need of evening and afternoon volunteers. We will take one to two hour blocks of time. We are also selling Jubilee coupon books, having a coin drop, and Chick Filet coupons for a small chicken nugget tray that will give the band $10 in return for each tray purchased. They are great for graduation parties, communion parties, birthday parties, etc.

It is said that the Head of the DTHS Guidance Department in 1959, Mr. Roy Wager suggested that our mascot be the Spartans. Mr. Wager also suggested that the fight song be "The Spartan Fight Song" from his alma mater San Jose State University.
Here is a clip of San Jose State's Fight Song
