Delhi District Secondary School is a publicly funded high school that is located near downtown Delhi in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada.
Summary
This rural school had one of the lowest enrollment rates in Norfolk County, and had been considered for closure on several occasions, until September 2010 when they received over 200 students from Norwich Secondary School. Delhi District Secondary School has a variety of athletic teams. These include football, cheerleading, basketball, volleyball, soccer (association football), tennis, badminton, cross country, track and field, scholastic wrestling, swimming and more. They are collectively known as the "Raiders." The Delhi teams usually have a rivalry with the athletic teams from Simcoe Composite School and Holy Trinity.
For one of the smallest schools in the district the Raiders have the biggest spirit and sense of community and therefore won the 2010 Young Canada Day at Norfolk County Fair (defeating both Holy Trinity and Simcoe Composite School). Delhi also won first place over all as the defending champions at the Norfolk County Fair 2011. They received first in Cheerleading, Men's Tug of War, Special Effects to win first over all.
Port Dover Composite School was officially closed permanently on January 31, 2013. In response, DDSS has beefed up their academics programs in an attempt to keep transfer students from going to their rival Simcoe Composite School.[6] Advanced placement courses were made available for senior academic subjects. Busing for the Norwich area was eventually kept intact; as they represented the northernmost traditional boundary for DDSS busing.[7]
