Delta High School (or DHS) is a high school in Pasco, Washington, United States. It provides a STEM-based curriculum for students in grades 9-12 from three school districts in the Tri-Cities area. The school is operated as a collaborative effort by the Kennewick School District, Pasco School District, and Richland School District, and in partnerships with a local skill center, colleges, and businesses. The school has been designated by the State of Washington as an Existing Innovative School.[1]
Delta High School opened on September 15, 2015 [2] Each school district is allocated approximately 1/3 of the enrollment for its students. Approximately 40 percent of the first year's 100 enrollees left the school, mostly in the first year, reportedly due to frustration with the start-up of the new school and the rigorous program[citation needed]. The first graduating class was in the spring of 2013 when 62 students graduated. [3] Through the 2014-2015 school year, the school operated in a group of buildings owned by Columbia Basin College in Pasco, Washington. After a years long effort to locate and build a new permanent campus,[4][5][6] a site was located and construction of new permanent facilities were completed for the start of the 2015-2016 school year in Pasco, Washington. The new campus was officially dedicated on October 8, 2015 on 5801 Broadmoor Blvd.[7]
