A Message from Our Principal

Deer Creek Intermediate Families, 

DCIS is a place of growth, inspiration and exploration, and we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where your children can thrive academically and personally. Our dedicated team of educators, staff, and administrators is passionate about fostering the love of learning, preparing our students for a successful future and helping them develop as good people. 

Public education has been my passion for over 27 years and I still get excited each and every year to see kids and families filling the building. 

I believe in the power of collaboration between home and school, and your active involvement in your child's education is essential. Together, we can create a positive and enriching educational experience for every student.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We look forward to a year filled with growth, achievements, and memorable experiences. If you ever have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Here's to a fantastic school year!

Mrs. Erin Frizzell
Principal

Our Story

Our culture prioritizes students feeling safe, valued and loved, and we are excited to start this new chapter of Deer Creek History together. 

Sixth grade students in Deer Creek have attended Deer Creek Intermediate since 2012. However, DCIS was a sixth-grade center only until August 2025, when fourth grade was restructured back to the elementary schools in our district.

The previous Deer Creek 4th & 5th Grade Center is now the Deer Creek Intermediate School, and serves all of Deer Creek's fifth and sixth graders.
