Deer Park High School, located in Deer Park, Texas is a high school serving 4,034 students from grades 9-12 and is a part of the Deer Park Independent School District. The school consists of 3 separate campuses: Deer Park High School North Campus (Grade 9), Deer Park High School South Campus (Grades 10-12) and Deer Park High School Wolters Campus, an advanced high school.
The high school is fed by Bonnette Junior High, Deepwater Junior High, Deer Park Junior High, and Fairmont Junior High.
Deer Park School District has 842 teachers. Of those teaching in the district, 33% have advanced degrees.
The buildings of North Campus had aged over time, and were becoming very run down. Many of the buildings were over 50 years old, the oldest being over 80 years old. Construction began in 2013 and was completed in 2016. Most of the school was torn down and replaced with new, modern buildings. The portions that were kept were renovated. The construction added many new classrooms, and a new fine arts building including a new band hall, choir room, black box theater, orchestra room and dance studio. One of the 3 gyms, built in 1938 (Originally built for the elementary school, it eventually became part of the High School when additions were built.) was renovated into the school's library. New chairs, desks, equipment, and other furnishings were purchased as well.
The Wolters Accelerated High School, which was located in the original high school building, formerly part of the North Campus complex, was moved to the former administration building next door, which was originally Deer Park's first elementary school, built in 1930 and expanded in 1938. It was remodeled before demolition began at North Campus.
During the end of the 2007 school year, Deer Park High School began remodeling the campus to better serve the student population. The construction included the addition of two new gymnasiums, 8 computer labs, a new cafeteria, a culinary arts lab and restaurant, science classrooms, a broadcast journalism studio, a new library and administrative spaces. The construction moved the main entrance to the school from the west side of the campus along Texas Avenue to the North Side of the building, along San Augustine Street.
