About

Welcome to Delhi District Secondary School!

Here at DDSS we provide a full range of core, Destreamed grade 9, Academic, Applied, and Locally Developed courses and a wide variety of optional courses to meet all students’ pathway needs.

Principal's Message

Welcome to Delhi District Secondary School!

Delhi District Secondary School (DDSS) is a small secondary school with a longstanding tradition of excellence, offering a comprehensive program that allows students to pursue all pathways (apprenticeship, college, university, and the workplace) with supports from our Special Education department and an outstanding teaching staff.

At DDSS, we also feel strongly that engaging students in opportunities beyond the regular school day is integral to student success. Due to our relatively small size, DDSS offers students a supportive and safe environment, and unsurpassed opportunities for involvement in a variety of excellent extracurricular programs. Our student clubs and organizations, performing arts groups, and athletic teams offer students the chance to be part of something positive and rewarding.

Whether you are entering secondary school or selecting courses for Grades 10- 12, this is an important step in your education.

The opportunities that you create for yourself beyond secondary school, whether it is in college, an apprenticeship, university, or the workplace, are dependent on the courses that you decide to take at DDSS.

We are happy to help you navigate through the course selection process that best meets your career pathway planning.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the school, we are always happy to assist.

Mr. Jim Merrick
