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

The Deer Creek Fourth and Fifth Grade Center opened in 2020. Although our first year was anything but traditional, our talented staff hit the ground running and has not stopped creating the best positive learning environment for our students since. We are fortunate to serve all of Deer Creek's fourth and fifth graders in one building. We are organized by teams, with a a different National Park designation for each one. We are proud of the learning achieved in our classrooms, and the spirit of growth, compassion and character building we aim to foster in our students. 

In 2023, DC45 was named a PLC Model at Work School, a prestigious honor awarded to only seven schools in Oklahoma. This recognition represents a school-wide commitment to creating a safe and collaborative culture, effective teaching in every classroom and guaranteed and viable curriculum.
